Professional development, retention and reengagement activities are HEERF-eligible. Institutions have invested to support faculty with high-impact practices including:

Upskilling faculty teaching in an online learning environment
Supporting faculty increasingly teaching hybrid and/or hyflex classes
Giving faculty tools to better support students impacted by pandemic learning loss or interruptions to their education
Creating a more inclusive learning environment for students and faculty
Investing in faculty confidence and well-being as they return to a new normal on campus
