Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scaling UDL Across Your Campus: From Permitted to Expected with Dr. Tom Tobin
Q: Can you walk us through what you mean by FAST goals specifically with UDL in mind?
FAST goals are frequent, ambitious, specific, and transparent. They should be discussed regularly, not tied solely to individual performance, and should decouple personal evaluation from progress toward campus-wide UDL adoption to sustain momentum.
Designing for Neurodivergent Learners to Thrive with Megan Kohler
Q: How does your three-layer model differ from other frameworks?
Her model starts with foundational executive functioning skills, moves through accessibility guided by WCAG/ADA considerations, then progresses to customized learning approaches that incorporate strengths-based communication, learner agency, and systemic design for sustainable neurodiverse inclusion.
Designing for Neurodivergent Learners to Thrive with Megan Kohler
Q: Can you give us a clear definition of what it means to be neurodivergent?
Megan explains that neurodiversity is a highly personal construct with a spectrum of cognitive differences that extends beyond common labels like autism or ADHD, including conditions like dyslexia, dyscalculia, Tourette syndrome, and even nontraditional examples such as prolonged grief disorder, emphasizing that language and framing are in flux.
Finding Your Voice as a Learning Leader with Heather Burright
Q: What would you encourage someone to start doing or stop doing to grow their leadership voice within their organization?
Advises networking and building relationships one-on-one, taking small steps like coffee chats, reaching out with genuine compliments, and gradually demonstrating value to gain buy-in without relying on big public personas.
Managing Change in the Age of AI
Q: How should leadership manage the gap between vision and reality in AI adoption?
Lead with empathy, start from the end in mind, document and share learnings in a central place, and ensure ongoing dialogue with faculty, staff, and students to address concerns and showcase progress.
