Re-Imagine and Re-Design: Disability Access in the Classroom
May 4 at 10:30 am - 11:30 am
We will offer reflective frameworks to provide participants with the atmosphere to begin the work of re-imagining the classroom for disabled students. To do this, we will challenge assumptions and norms of a “typical” classroom and, by way of example, identify practical ways to design your classroom with disability accessibility in mind.

This is a UBCO STREAM (Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) event. STREAM is a multi-pronged initiative, aiming to enhance the appreciation of impactful equity-based and historically, persistently and systemically marginalized-produced scholarly work at UBCO and beyond. STREAM’s overarching philosophy is to demonstrate to students, faculty and staff that there is much to learn from marginalized voices in scholarly research.
