Enhancing Institutional EDI Knowledge of Disability and Academic Accessibility:

• Many students with disabilities require more time to consolidate and process what they have learned. This may involve advanced access to and& frequent review of their readings and notes ahead of any quizzes.
• Quizzes are practical scaffolding tools and if they are part of your lesson plan, please set these to be completed outside class time or provide a scheduled date. Pop quizzes during class or directly after class put many students, including those with disabilities, at a disadvantage.
• Consider an alternative to quizzes such as a take-home application assignment or written reflection due by the next class.
