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.
