A New Guide on Teaching Students with Disabilities

Posted by Rhett Mcdaniel on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 in Resource.

Students of all abilities and backgrounds want classrooms that are inclusive and convey respect. For those students with disabilities, the classroom setting may present certain challenges that need accommodation and consideration.

The Center for Teaching has embarked upon a theme year on Teaching, Difference, and Power as a way to explore many of the challenges educators face as they negotiate difference and inequality in their classrooms.

Graduate Teaching Fellow, Danielle Picard, has written a new guide on Teaching Students with Disabilities which is the most recent addition to the online resources produced by the CFT addressing different aspects of this year’s theme.
