Education Week – Peter DeWitt
“In the United States, we lament the lack of diversity in STEM fields and in teacher education, but many of our actions as educators continue to “weed out” students from nondominant communities and those who are differently abled. Society, parents, and other students need to understand that students with disabilities are as capable of academic achievement as any other student given the proper accommodations that allow for success. This is an issue that should not be limited to the silo of disability studies—it is one that must be recognized by all teachers.” (more)
