Professional Development Modules
Institutions of Higher Education are becoming increasingly diverse, including more students with disabilities attending postsecondary education. This increase in diversity may require new teaching pedagogy and instructional strategies. Students with Disabilities as Diverse Learners (SDDL) is a federally funded project administered by the Center on Disability Studies at the University of Hawai‘i. SDDL staff provide Professional Development Trainings to college faculty for teaching students with disabilities and other diverse learners, with the goal of improving student retention and matriculation rates. As part of this effort, we have developed PowerPoint presentations, best viewed in SlideShow mode. We hope these PowerPoint presentations enhance your teaching and learning experience for all students. You can also link to an Accessible HTML version of each Power Point.
We hope these presentations are useful in a variety of ways, including enhancing teaching and learning, and understanding students with disabilities, other diverse learners, and indeed all students.
