Institutions need to treat everyone equally, and to respect all students and potential students.

Accomodations should should make sure all students have equal access, it is not designed to ensure success for those students that require them. 

Accomodations need to be tailored for each student's unique circumstances. 

I learned about accomodations and institutional requirements for students with disabilities. 

I have learned that communication needs to start early, and be ongoing for student success. 

Communication skills are vital in all aspects of life, both personal and professional. Helping students to improve these skills will help them be more sucessful all around. 

Improved technology will let students have more experiences before practicing a skill in the "real world" and to gain knowlege and confidence.

The reasoning behind the "why" of a skill is important for students to know.

You must model what you wish your students to learn.

I learned about the importance of providing rubrics to students prior to assignments.
