UDL Interventions for Faculty, Staff, and Administrators to Support Student Success:

This keynote presentation draws from the UDL guidelines to provide actionable interventions that instructors, staff, and administrators can use to increase student success. Together, we will explore institution-focused interventions to outline equitable educational environments, staff-focused initiatives that create the environment, instructor-focused interventions to support faculty as they improve their learning systems, and student-focused interventions to help students persist. 

Lillian Nave is the Faculty and Educational Development Specialist for AppState’s Hickory campus in North Carolina.

 

A former art historian, Lillian now teaches First Year Seminar courses in Intercultural Competence and has connected her AppState students virtually with students in Europe and Asia. She is the creator and host of the Think UDL podcast which has over 100,000 global downloads. Through the podcast, she interviews practitioners around the world who create more equitable, accessible, and engaging learning environments for their students.

 

She enjoys spreading the word about UDL through her scholarly articles on faculty development, inclusive pedagogy and UDL, and through speaking engagements at international conferences and invited talks at universities all throughout the USA.
