I also teach a TBL course at Iowa State.  It’s a large lecture course (300 per section) and we had a hearing impaired student.  We worked with Disability Resources and the student chose to self-identify.  This allowed us to ensure that she would be in a team near the front of the room, with space for her captioner to sit as well.  As far as I know, it worked well.

 

Although these were not documented accommodations, we have also worked to be sensitive to mental health challenges (anxiety, depression, etc) and have included trigger warnings, instructions for self-care, etc on any units that could be difficult for students.

Dr. Stephenson,

 

I teach a Farm Management and Operation course at Iowa State in TBL format. I have had a couple of instances of needed accommodations during my the six semesters teaching the course. Most of the accommodations revolved around extended time on assessments. I discussed each instance with the student and documented a plan that we both agreed on to meet their need. The students would arrive to class 20-30 minutes early to begin the IRAT. Since the TRAT is in a group setting, no extra time was needed by the students. This was noted on the mutual contract and there was no issue throughout any of the semesters this was done. 

 

Hope this helps.

Hello,

 

I'm hoping to use TBL to teach a mental health course next semester. I have a few students who require accommodations as part of ADA. Has anyone experience of managing that in relation to GRATs?

Thanks in advance!
