Create a welcoming classroom environment. Some ways to accomplish this are by including a disabilities statement on your syllabus, learning student names, and making sure students feel free to approach you with concerns.

Determine the essential components of the course. What are the core skills and knowledge students need to have when they leave your course? Can you think of different or multiple ways to teach this content?

Provide clear expectations and feedback. How do students know what you expect of them? For example, do you provide both written and oral directions for assignments? Do students understand how you will evaluate their work? How and how often do you provide feedback?

Explore ways to incorporate natural support for learning. Technology can be useful in providing a natural support. Consider posting your lecture notes online or recording your lectures so that students can listen to them again.

Provide varied instructional methods. Try mixing up your lecture with small group discussion, case studies, and hands-on activities.

Provide a variety of ways for students to demonstrate knowledge. Using a variety of assessment methods provides an opportunity to more accurately assess student learning. Offer students a choice of assignments. Can they write a paper in place of an exam? Would an oral exam be possible?

Use technology to enhance learning opportunities This not only applies to the instructor, but can the students use technology to complete assignments and demonstrate learning?
