Five faculty members at
Emporia State University received awards for their work
at The Teachers College faculty and staff springsemester meeting on Jan. 14.
Kelly O’Neal-Hixson received the Excellence in Instruction Award. The award
was in recognition of her efforts to keep instruction student centered. In teaching
online courses, she uses multiple forms of technology to
keep her virtual classrooms
as user friendly as possible.

she is credited with creating
coursework with immediate
and practical application.

effectiveness, Dobler has recently focused on literacy development. In the past three
years, she has co-authored
a book, published a second
edition of a textbook, published two solo articles in
peer-reviewed journals, and
has been part of a nationwide research team which
has contributed to fournational journal articles and
two national presentations.
Heather Caswell was
presented the Excellence
in Service Award. She was
credited with working tirelessly in local, state and
national organizations at
all levels of service–giving
quality input, communicating regularly, writing and
traveling extensively, and
championing causes with
quiet leadership. For three
years, she served as the faculty liaison to the Center for
Early Childhood, guiding it
through a national accreditation process. She was instrumental in bringing the Flint
Hills Writing Project to ESU
and serves as its co-director.
She has also contributed her
talents to the Kansas Reading Association, the Kansas
Association of Teachers of
