From Vision to Action: Let’s Create Inclusive Classrooms, Campuses, and Communities
May 4, 2022 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
FreeDescription
This practical workshop will introduce innovative approaches and tools, such as person-centered thinking and human-centered design, that can be used to improve access and meaningful inclusion of people with disabilities and others historically left out of systems design. Examples of inclusive design to be shared include an inclusive syllabus template and the story of how schools are opening their doors to students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We will end the workshop in small groups to practice applying these new tools to redesign an aspect of a Minnesota State classroom, campus, or community to make it more inclusive of all minds and bodies.
Disability Justice Workshop Series
This webinar is part of the Disability Justice Workshop Series. View and share the flyer.
The Disability Justice Workshop Series introduces the concept of disability justice – a framework that examines disability and ableism as it relates to other forms of oppression and identity – and contextualizes it in U.S. history and current social justice work, with the goal of fostering a more just and inclusive Minnesota State community. These five interactive sessions are centered on the leadership and advice of people with disabilities, including Minnesota State students. Too often disability justice is erased in social justice talk and work. This workshop series addresses that silencing and attempts to destigmatize and reframe disability, celebrating the richness and variety found in human minds and bodies. The world would be a dull place if we all looked, acted, thought, spoke, and moved in the same way. As a community, we gain a lot by learning from people with disabilities of varied cultural backgrounds and lived experience. This series gives everybody time to learn, reflect, and plan for a future that is inclusive of all people.
