Classroom concerns about accessibility and inclusion can be complex, and in many ways, COVID-19 has made them more complicated. This session presents a pedagogical framework for teaching with access and inclusion - even during a pandemic. We’ll identify key concepts, review grounding principles, and discuss everyday teaching practices.

This session is the “pre-work” for the full Teaching with Access and Inclusion (TAI) program.

Facilitators:

• Angela M. Carter, Access and Inclusion Pedagogy Specialist, Minnesota Transform and Center for Educational Innovation
• Jigna Desai, Professor, Department of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies (GWSS) & Asian American Studies and Principal Investigator, Minnesota Transform

Recording & Resources: Presentation components of this session will be recorded; recording will be paused for conversation. Recording, slides and resources will be sent to all registrants within two business days following the session.

Accessibility & Accommodation Requests: We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals to engage fully. Please contact the Center for Educational Innovation ([email protected]) to request accommodations or discuss access needs (e.g. interpreting, captioning, large print, image descriptions, material format, etc.) Whenever possible, please submit requests for real-time captioning, interpreting, and material formatting at least two weeks in advance. Requests made after that point cannot be guaranteed.

This program is presented by the Center for Educational Innovation.
