Kognito: Teaching the Whole Student √ §
A simulation for cultivating wellness in college students

Description
Have you ever taught a student whom you suspected was experiencing a mental health crisis? As course instructors, how do we know our responsibilities and limitations in supporting these students? Join the FDC to explore and discuss Kognito; an interactive, online, simulation designed to support college teaching faculty in responding to their students’ signs of crisis. Kognito is a technology supported by UMBC’s Integrated Wellness Center and is encouraged as a tool for educating the “whole” college student. That is, when faculty strengthen their skills to recognize and support students experiencing distress (even seemingly unrelated to class), they facilitate students’ ability to learn successfully. Registrants of this FDC session are encouraged to begin or complete the Kognito simulation before the meeting time. During our session, we will discuss participants’ experiences with, and questions about, the interactive tool and its potential role in reformed pedagogy at UMBC.

Launched in February 2017!
Sessions in this series are designed to help you capture UMBC’s strengths in diversity to create vibrant learning environments--environments that effectively challenge and support every student. During interactive sessions, faculty and staff colleagues will help you address challenges and explore key questions, for example,
- How can you learn about your classroom audience to better connect with your students and reflect on their learning needs?
- How can you make your classroom more hospitable for all learners?
- How can you handle sensitive discussions in your classroom?
- How can you ensure that students from different academic and social backgrounds and with different physical and cognitive abilities experience classrooms where they are welcomed, challenged, and supported?
- aspire to make their classrooms more inclusive of our diverse student population.
