What we’ll discuss
Director Forum is a monthly discussion event for Directors & Assistant Directors of Disability Services & Access departments where we meet, network, and problem solve together. Think of it as a support group - people who you’ll be able to trust, learn from, and meet with regularly to seek creative approaches to your problems.
At our December meeting, we’ll be discussing providing note taking support. Note taking support is a common accommodation, and one which can be served in many different ways. It also often takes up a disproportionate amount of an office’s time. In this session we’ll discuss how to provide note taking support that empowers the learner, what has worked well in your experience, and how to reduce the administrative burden of providing note taking support.
Plus, with transcription coming to Glean in 2022 to empower learners to engage meaningfully with captured information and refine understanding after class, we’ll be discussing how allowing students to access notes in different forms can create inclusive note taking support for learning.
Bring your challenge to the meeting and discuss it with your peers. Director Forum is all about sharing, listening, and learning together. Come ready to ask for help and share your experiences.
