Faculty Resources

The Academic Resource Center staff are a resource for faculty as well as students: we are trained in fields including developmental psychology, learning strategies, counseling, and instructional support. (Most of us double as adjunct instructors at Webster.) We are happy to answer your questions one-on-one, to schedule classroom observations, to conduct writing workshops, to recommend peer tutors, to offer test proctoring and accommodation services for individual students, to support you in the use of technologies to accommodate disabilities, or to provide academic counseling to students at your recommendation.

The Academic Resource Center also maintains and makes available brochures and handouts that describe a wide variety of disabilities; many of these include recommendations regarding academic accommodations that have been successful with Webster students in the past. In addition, we stock materials dealing with universal design of instruction and other teaching strategies intended to help faculty reach all their students. For more information about these topics, you may want to consult our list of relevant publications.

Please come by our offices in Loretto Hall Room 40 to pick up brochures or to pick our brains.
