Webinar Summary: Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusion in the Classroom

This week's webinar was a brief overview of some common issues faculty are facing in classrooms regarding diversity, accessibility and inclusion, and resources to support faculty that want to know more. ASU is focusing on a mission to build open and accessible communities for students and in the classroom, that can mean that faculty need to be aware of key strategies to support these communities. The first key strategy is to become mindful of challenges that many of our students face in classes, and then start developing activities and classrooms that create comfortable environments. Below are few of the ideas that were shared, and gathered from various ASU resources for faculty.
