Hi everyone!

 

Apologies for sending these separately, but the listserv has size limits and I couldn’t fit them all into one…

 

I’m excited to share with you a new resource that has been published at KPU over the summer. While not an OER, we hope that this resource will support faculty to engage in open pedagogical practices:

 

 

 

 

Faculty Guide for International Student Success

By the KPU Arts Committee on Faculty and International Student Success

 

This book has two purposes. First, it provides KPU instructors with practical resources that they can use to ensure the success of International students in their classroom. To this end, Part One, Foster Belonging, includes ways that International students can be more fully included in classroom culture. Part Two, Instructional Strategies, contains more detailed pedagogical approaches to achieve this inclusion. The second purpose is to provide International students a forum to share their experiences of being an International student at KPU. To this end, the book contains a series of short video clips in which International students speak to what they want Instructors to know about their experiences as International students. These videos are interspersed throughout Parts One and Two, and can be found grouped together as a playlist in the Appendix.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University  ► Where thought meets action

I respectfully acknowledge that I work in a region that overlaps with the unceded, traditional and ancestral lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), scəw̓aθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo),qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and the qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), which gifted its name to this university.

In the cause of reconciliation, I recognize and commit to address and reduce ongoing systemic colonialism, oppression and racism that Indigenous Peoples continue to experience.
