Disability Awareness VICKSBURG ROOM - CONVENTION CENTER

This presentation is designed to enlighten instructors to the difficulties ADA students face through simulation activities. The participants will develop awareness and empathy for ADA students with disabilities. The presentation will help dispel negative beliefs and stereotypes about ADA students. The presenters will use simulation activities to broaden the understanding of participants to the challenges ADA students face on a daily basis. Since more individuals with disabilities are attending college, with many in CTE programs, it is necessary for instructors to be more aware of the challenges this population may face. By providing this training, instructors will participate in activities that will make them more conscious of their teaching styles, attitudes, words and actions. Participants in the presentation will develop an awareness of the challenges facing students with disabilities. The presentation will help eliminate stereotypes and misconceptions about students with disabilities. The instructors will be able to analyze previous beliefs and build a new understanding that students with disabilities are not learning disabled they just learn in a different way. Participants will be able to develop and modify their teaching practices to include all students with or without disabilities. Moving Full Steam Ahead: How Do We Do This When Our Tanks are Still on Empty The workshop is designed to remind educators that they are not alone with their burnout/empty tanks. Educators face many obstacles and keep going. This workshop aims to educate attendees on what they are feeling and how to handle the feelings. It provides a self-assessment form that each can take to see where they are on the burnout level and offers coping skills to empower them to move forward. The workshop is geared to encourage group participation and encouragement from peers. ST. LOUIS ROOM - CONVENTION CENTER
