Facilitating Accessibility in STEM for Students with Disabilities at Two Year Colleges
Facilitating Accessibility in STEM for Students with Disabilities at Two Year Colleges
The Facilitating Accessibility in STEM for Students with Disabilities at Two Year Colleges project (NSF grant IUSE-2228226) hosted an in-person workshop held June 26 to June 28, 2023, with follow-up virtual discussions hosted in the following fall. The workshop was hosted by Minneapolis Community & Technical College and co-sponsored by the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC), The Organization for Physics at Two-Year Colleges (OPTYCs), and the Two-Year College Chemistry Consortium (2YC3). The presentations and activities provided during the workshop were selected to provide faculty with knowledge and tools that can be implemented in supporting students with disabilities. Additional virtual meetings providing opportunities for follow-up discussions on implementing strategies that support students with disabilities were held in fall 2023.
Invited speakers have graciously provided vignettes (available below) that provide additional information relevant to working with students with disabilities. These vignettes are provided in the hope that they will be useful for helping instructors meet the needs of students with disabilities.
