Use many assessment formats in your course to ensure all students are graded fairly and have a chance to demonstrate their knowledge.
Arrange seating in your classroom to allow ample room for wheelchairs in multiple locations to make your classroom accessible to all students.
When lecturing with visual aids like PowerPoint, use large, bold fonts and uncluttered formatting, and make sure to read aloud and explain any content. This will help any students with visual impairments.
Give students scaffolding tools such as outlines, graphic organizers, and copies of projected materials with room for note taking.
Present content in a logical order, summarize what you have covered periodically, and emphasize major points to give students with learning disabilities an optimal learning environment.
Use familiar language and explicitly define new terms whenever possible to make sure all students, especially those with non-English first languages, understand the concepts you are describing.
Arrange seating in your classroom so that each student has a clear line of sight to you and the visual aids, such as PowerPoints.
Provide a comprehensive syllabus before your class begins so students of all ability levels can plan for the semester and gather the tools they need to succeed in the course.
Provide multiple examples of specific CS concepts to make them relevant to individuals with diverse characteristics.
Avoid drawing undue attention to differences between students, such as pointing out a student’s disability, to ensure all students feel comfortable in your classroom.
