All,


For those of you who have struggled to accommodate or include any student with a disability in your geoscience courses, please be sure to attend the GSA session T162. Increasing Accessible Opportunities in the Geosciences for Students with Disabilities: Current Research and Best Practices. 


If you, or anyone you know, have been able to overcome the barriers of inclusion to provide instruction to students with disabilities, please encourage them to submit an abstract to present their instructional practices and/or research.  Please also encourage students with disabilities who are pursuing geoscience degrees to submit abstracts for this session.  First-person perspectives allow us to learn how to provide effective instruction to our students.  Partial student travel grants are available through the GSA Geoscience Education Division.


Just another reminder that the Geological Society of America abstract deadline is one week from today!


Abstract submission form can be found here:  http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2011AM/cfp.epl


Please feel free to contact either of us with questions or comments.
