From Accommodation to Inclusivity - Classroom Accommodation Requests as Opportunities to Teach More Inclusively Online
Responding to student requests for accommodations can be daunting, especially when they require changes to the way we do things in our classrooms. This is especially true when it feels like we have to change many components of our courses to accommodate the needs of one student. However, many common (and some not-so-common) accommodation requests can actually improve learning for all students. Specifically, accommodations that request alternative ways for students to engage (e.g., participation, presentations, exams and other assessments, etc.) present an opportunity for us to consider multiple ways that students might engage with course content, each other, and their own learning. At this workshop, we will look at some examples of accommodation requests and discuss how adjusting our practices and habits to meet these accommodations can make our teaching more effective and inclusive.
