Webinar: Providing Access to Content Area Learning for Students with Disabilities

Literacy in the Disciplines, 6-12 (LiD) is pleased to announce our next after-school Webinar Series session.

Providing Access to Content Area Learning for Students with Disabilities.

When you think about instruction in the content areas, do you automatically think that all students have the opportunity to engage in this type of learning?  Can students beyond those with learning disabilities meaningfully participate in content area classrooms?  In this session, we will explore what access means for students with disabilities and identify ways to engage this group in content area instruction.   

The video recording of the session is available at the bottom of this page.

Where: Please register here for the July session.  A Zoom link will be sent one day before the session.
