Session Description (still somewhat fluid)

In this interactive online session, Tonya Thomas walks participants through the application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to performance improvement and execution strategies, pulling examples from her own rich experience as both educator AND learner over her career of +20 years. Participants will be exposed to concepts, power techniques, and #techtoolz that assist with making performance interventions more “sticky,” more actionable, and—most importantly—more inclusive.

Session Goals/Outcomes

Participants will:

• Describe the foundational tenets of UDL and how this framework applies to performance support
• Take stock of the various ways their workplace supports the incorporation of UDL for performance issues
• Using provided UDL reference tools, outline ways to apply UDL for performance to real-world performance issues
