Plans for Spring 2022

by Elizabeth Simpson 2 years, 2 months ago

Hello everyone, here’s the plan for the Spring 2022 semester:

We’d like to make the most of the collective knowledge of the group, and focus on sharing tips and solutions!  To that end, we’d like to start each session with a 15 minute demo of a solution, tool, capability, or anything else you think the group could benefit from.  If you’re interested in sharing, fill out this form: https://forms.office.com/r/3n2xgAfJ8n  

  • February 16th, time TBD:  Judith Risch, Attorney Advisor at the Office for Civil Rights with the U.S. Department of Education has agreed to speak with the group and answer questions.
  • March 9th, 9am :  Call for Volunteers!  We’d like 2-3 campuses to share their experiences in retrofitting a Math or Chemistry class to make it more accessible for students.  If you’re interested in sharing, reply to this email! 
  • April 13th, 9am:  Call for Volunteers!  We’d like 2-3 campuses share their experiences in making accommodations for in-class testing &/or proctoring.  If you’re interested in sharing, reply to this email! 
  • May 11th, 9am:  Reflections of the semester, planning for Fall 2023. 

Here’s the link to the meeting room:  https://us.bbcollab.com/guest/b951ea1fe16049f48c3a1b0552f0a2e4

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best,
