Professor Newton used the grant to fuel a transformative learning experience centered around social media for her students over the course of the Fall 2022 semester.
Professor Newton’s students were able to see themselves as agents of change with the help of her grant-funded project. They created PSAs to share with teachers and classmates regarding frequently used euphemisms and misconceptions about disabilities – as well as ableism more broadly. With a set of tripods, lights, and microphones, students produced content for the likes of TikTok and Instagram to get the word out about the changes needed to make school more equitable and just for all learners.
This project enabled students to influence their peers and followers with thought-provoking messages and tips. The students explored new avenues for getting the word out about best practices, systems change, innovative strategies, and socially just practices.
