Diverse Learning Needs: Let’s Hear from JMU Students

From: Center for Faculty Innovation (CFI)

Do you have adult learners in your class? International students? Students with learning disabilities or attentional issues? Student athletes? Students with hearing and/or visual disabilities? And…do you struggle with how to support the range of learning needs of ALL of your diverse students?

If so, please join us for a discussion based workshop sponsored by the Office of Disability Services (ODS) and the CFI. In a unique rotating roundtable format, students who have disabilities and other diverse needs will host discussions, answer ALL your questions, and provide tips on instructional strategies that work for them.

In addition, attendees will receive information about principles of Universal Design for Learning, disability services, and student support services.

Facilitators:
Valerie Schoolcraft, Program Manager (ODS)
Melinda Burchard, Learning Strategies Coordinator (ODS)
Matt Trybus, Disability Services Specialist (ODS)
