Information Literacy instruction: Creating inclusive and engaging communities of learning for all students
Leslie Ross (she/they)
Assistant Professor, Instruction Coordinator at New Mexico State University Library
There are students with disabilities who qualify for accommodation in the IL classroom, but often the accommodations don't go far enough. There are also students who do not have diagnosed disabilities and are very much in need of specific accommodations for things like situational anxiety, homesickness, or emergent substance use disorders that impact their abilities to learn and hand work in on time. We will discuss using asset-based teaching practices and universal design in IL instruction to create inclusive and engaging communities of learning for all students.
