Welcome to the Access, Learning and Leadership Initiative (ALL) at UC Berkeley! Our mission is to create a more inclusive and accessible educational environment by promoting Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and fostering culturally sustaining practices through engaging workshops and valuable resources.
Our Workshops
Our initiative offers a series of transformative workshops designed to empower various stakeholders within the university community. These workshops are targeted towards:
Adminitration(Senior Leaders Managers)
Student Services Staff
Undergraduate/Graduate Student Instructors
Faculty and Lectures
Engage with Critical Topics
At ALL, we believe that creating an inclusive environment requires a deep understanding of the core principles that underpin accessibility and diversity in spaces of Higher Education. Through our workshops, participants will engage with the following critical topics:
Understanding Variability: Recognizing and celebrating the diverse ways in which individuals learn and engage with education.
Universal Design in Higher Education: Exploring strategies to make educational content and experiences accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds.
Cultivating Sustaining Processes and Cultural Humility: Nurturing an inclusive atmosphere by promoting cultural humility and practices that sustain a diverse learning community.
A Move Beyond Compliance
Our approach transcends compliance and aims to challenge deep-rooted culture and promote principles of universal design for learning and culturally sustaining practices. We firmly believe:
There is no mythical ‘average’ learner. Every individual brings unique strengths and needs to the table.
Variability is the norm, and by embracing it, we enrich our educational environment.
Clear goals with flexible means reduce barriers and create an accessible learning journey for all.
And More!..The ALL Initiative at UC Berkeley is your partner in promoting accessibility, learning, and leadership. Join us in shaping a brighter, more inclusive future for education.
