Addressing Bias & Stereotypes - how to better combat it through design thinking

Taking the CM 251 training on Students with Disabilities: Legal Obligations and Opportunities has equipped me with a deeper understanding of the legal framework surrounding disability accommodations in educational settings. The most important take away has been how could I better address bias in my own teaching.

It addressed common misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding disabilities, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing biases to create a more inclusive environment. 

Besides that I better understand the legal implications, opportunities to collaborate with other stakeholders, and creating creative and inclusive environment.

I love design thinking and using design thinking in creating lessons. 

I love groupwork, and this course reinforced the need to have more groupwork incorporated so that not only my own biases are addressed but also bias that students may have towards students with disabilities.
