Promoting Inclusive Teaching among College Faculty: A Framework for Disability Service Providers (Practice Brief)
Lombardi, Allison; McGuire, Joan M.; Tarconish, Emily
Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, v31 n4 p397-413 Win 2018
As increasing numbers of students with disabilities enter higher education, the need for college faculty to adopt inclusive teaching practices intensifies. Professional development (PD) opportunities involving inclusive teaching strategies are a useful way to help instructors develop these skills; unfortunately, many colleges and universities do not offer such trainings due to lack of resources or limited faculty time. This practice brief presents a framework for disability service providers (DSPs) to utilize and guide instructors to create accessible class materials and assessments. Following a "plan, deliver, assess" structure, the framework includes multiple tools, including self-assessments, check lists, and work sheets, that instructors can use following PD activities to continue to make their teaching more accessible.
