SUMMARY:Accessibility SIG resource working day 1
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Eureka Centre For Mathematical Confidence\, Loughborough University on Monday 26th March\, 9:30-16:00 \nCall for participants\nThe sigma Network Accessibility Special Interest Group aims to produce two sets of guidance resources on accessibility in a mathematics support context. The first set will be for mathematics and statistics support tutors and the second for those running mathematics support centres. We are looking for participants with relevant experience and expertise to help develop these resources\, starting with a working day in Loughborough on Monday 26th March. \nShare your experience and expertise\nWe are looking for participants with experience of or expertise in one or more of the following areas in a mathematics/statistics learning and teaching context: \n\nMathematics/statistics anxiety\nDyslexia\nDyscalculia\nAutistic Spectrum Conditions\nMathematics without pen and paper\nVisual impairment\nSupporting mature students\nSupporting students with English as a second language\nSupporting students with vocational entry qualifications in a selective context\n\nWe are also looking for participants with experience of or expertise in: \n\nSelecting and using assistive technology in a mathematical/statistical context\nDesigning accessible mathematics support spaces\n\nResource production process\nRoughly filled templates will be distributed prior to the working day. At the working day we aim to produce drafts and specific actions to continue the work beyond the day. Further working days may follow this one\, depending on the progress made. The resources will be trialled in several mathematics support centres and then improved as necessary. \nWhat participants might gain\nThis is an opportunity to work with colleagues who have similar research and development interests. For those working towards HEA Fellowship\, participating in this process could help to provide evidence towards elements of the UK Professional Standards Framework. Finally\, participants who take an active role in the process will be the listed authors/reviewers of the resources and will be offered co-authorship of any resulting publications. \nExpressions of interest invited\nTo express interest in taking part in this process and in attending the working day on Monday 26th March please email Emma Cliffe\, E.H.Cliffe@bath.ac.uk and Clare Trott\, C.Trott@lboro.ac.uk with a short summary of your area(s) of experience and expertise. Please note\, you do not need to be a sigma member to participate. \nCosts\nRefreshments will be provided at the working day. We have a limited budget to support this work and we hope that in most cases participants’ institutions will be able to fund their travel. We may be able to provide limited subsidy of travel expenses for those with key expertise who would like to contribute but whose institution is unable to assist with travel costs. Please state if you would need this support in your email\, the likely costs and the key expertise you are able to offer. \nDraft schedule\n\n\n\n9.30-10.00\nArrival with tea/coffee\n\n\n10.00-10.30\nIntroduction to the SIG and the leaflets\n\n\n10.30-11.15\nGenerating ideas\n\n\n11.15-11.35\nCoffee/tea\n\n\n11.35-12.30\nWriting\n\n\n12.30-1.30\nLunch\n\n\n1.30-2.45\nWriting\n\n\n2.45-3.05\nTea/coffee\n\n\n3.05 – 4.00\nFinalising leaflets
