Wheel Chairs

It's imperative that every dorr that people in wheel chairs have automatic doors. I've been to a couple of schools in my past that did not and it was embarassing for them.

Learning Disability

It's imperative that we are all aware of everything that needs to be done to accommodate their needs.

handicapped students

I think that it's very important to be sensitive to handicapped students. It doesn't matter what their case might be.

Max Knowledge Experience

There was a lot to learn with Maxknowledge. It was a 2 week course. I think I should have had about one more week. It takes me a while to soak up information, escpecially information included in this course. It was a lot, and it was very overwhelming to remember.

I have learned about teaching styles. I don't like lecture as much as I like lab time. I like doing instead of doing a lot of lecture. I would rather use my voice to instruct my students on how to give massage instead of why they should give a massage.

ONline courses are very manageable

Compliance and FERPA

I taught at public  non-profit universities and have never been invovled with recruitment or finanical aide regulations. It has been interesting for me to see that side of regulatory requirments. The subject matter most familiar to me was the FERPA requirements. I have had multiple opportunities to reflect on FERPA as a faculty member. There have been ninstances (believe it or not) when parents, boyfriends, spouses have appeared at my office door requeting/demanding to see a student's grades or receive information about a student's performance. It has been very nice to fall back on the law, both as a guide for me, and an explanation to the person requesting information.

This training was helpful for me in understanding federal and state regulations in the state of Ohio.

Document Retention - Academic

I'm wondering if most of the colleges are retaining the supporting documentation, such as academic assessment/tests, out-of-class work, professors' attendance sheets (i.e. roll books if attendance is taken manually and then entered into an application). I'll appreciate to received some feedback about the practices out there. Thanks.

Proof of ATB - New Regulation

What new procedures you have in place to manage the qualified ATB students population under the new regulation requirements? Are you allowing transfer-in from other schools? Are you accepting them? If the case, are you requiring detailed supporting documentation from the former student's institution? Or their transfer to other institutions is limited (i.e. would not comply with the new regulations)? Thanks for your feedback

Compliance

Very important and useful knowledge to make sure we are representing college in a transparent and full disclosure way so student can make a solid decision

DISCUSSION

THIS COURSE IS REALLY HELPFUL

Test format

I learned a lot however, the question format was a little confusing.

Question wording

Some of the wording in the questions was misleading.  Over all the content of this course is essential to any college agent.

Access

Access for all student is very important the students should be able to move around enter and exit at a steady pace. I once heard a student say "I chose this school because they can accommodate my size the other school had desk that where to small."

class

The classroom setting should always accommodation those that are in the classroom whether larger, small, special need or no special needs.

Equal Opportunity

Its a wonderful thing to see a student and student in a classroom all different with the desire to learn and accomplish a goal. It does not matter the race, handicap, gender or general backgrounds all we know as instructors is that the student desires to learn and to accomplish a goal.

Disability Hostage

When I taught high school I encountered many situations where a student with a disability would become offended and isolated whenever he/she felt they were being singled out. This is very tricky when it comes to students'being labeled as different or inferior to the so called "normal" students. Its a very tricky area.

accomidation

we should give all students an oppertunity to sucseed, regardless of their challenges
