On this page you will find a mix of UMaine students' stories and data driven personas walking you through challenges and successes that impacted their learning journey.
These students' stories and data driven personas are meant to help you think through your courses and to explore existing barriers to inclusive learning by asking the following questions:
would this student be able to succeed in my class?
what simple changes can I make to my course material, assignments, course policies, etc to make this student feel welcome in my class?
We invite you to explore you biases with regards to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, transgender status, gender expression, national origin, citizenship status, age, disability, genetic information, or veterans status. As you open each of the resources presented on this page, take a moment to reflect on the mental image you had formed of the students before accessing their information.
