Upskill, Reskill, Thrive: Optimizing Learning and Development in the Workplace offers readers an accessible guide to understanding and applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to the workplace. Universal Design for Learning is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. Using exemplars from across sectors and industries, James Mc Kenna highlights how learning and development professionals can redefine the goals of learning in the corporate environment – not only for the benefit of the organization but also, and perhaps more importantly, for the individual.
Upskill, Reskill, Thrive illustrates how to create and sustain learning and work environments that honor and empower individuals in ways that promote knowledge generation and sharing. This book will help L&D educators and corporate leaders motivate their teams from the inside to improve performance and become part of an inclusive culture across an organization.

Sobre el autor
Kendra Grant’s first career (and love) was in K-12 education. She was a teacher, teacher-librarian, district special education coordinator, and assistive technology specialist in a large school district. Her second career, as the cofounder and chief education officer for a professional learning company, focused on UDL and technology implementation. Today, in her third career, Kendra’s goal is to bring UDL to the workplace. Through intentional, inclusive design, her goal is to help companies move away from one-size-fits-all corporate training to help every employee develop learner expertise and reach their maximum potential. She was senior manager of learning design anddelivery at Walmart, and now is principal of her own L&D practice. Kendra holds a master’s of educational technology degree from the University of British Columbia. She is a past president of ISTE’s Inclusive Learning Network and was honored to be the recipient of the Outstanding Inclusive Educator award in 2019.
