Institutions of Higher Education are becoming increasingly diverse,
including more students with disabilities attending postsecondary
education. This increase in diversity may (or seems to) require new
teaching pedagogy and instructional strategies.
Students with Disabilities as Diverse Learners (SDDL) is a federally
funded project administered by the Center on Disability Studies at the
University of Hawai‘i. SDDL staff provide Professional Development
Trainings to college faculty for teaching students with disabilities and
other diverse learners, with the goal of improving student retention and
matriculation rates. As part of this effort, we have developed PowerPoint
presentations, best viewed in SlideShow mode. We hope this PPT
enhances your teaching and learning experience for all students.
