ALA Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) has extended the call for panelists for the LIRT President's Program at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, IL (June 22-27, 2023)
Program Title: Universal design for learning - planning for all learners
Universal design for learning is an educational framework that optimizes teaching to accommodate all learners through multiple means of representation, expression, and action & engagement. By creating accessible, inclusive learning experiences, libraries of all types can provide more equitable library services and support for learners through intentional, proactive, and reflective practices. In this session, participants will learn how librarians from different library types are incorporating universal design for learning into their instruction, whether in-person and/or online, to help reduce barriers and encourage learning.
Traditionally, this session is a panel that includes three presentations from librarians representing school, public, special, or academic libraries. Each presentation should last approximately 15 minutes.
The deadline has been extended to Friday, January 13th.
