Coaching and Supporting UDL Implementation Level II

In this Level II course, you will build on the learnings and skills introduced in the Level I course. This course is ideally suited for educational leaders, coaches, and administrators that are serious about implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

UDL is a framework that recognizes all learners are varied and provides flexibility in design to optimize learning outcomes. It is the job of instructional coaches, teachers leaders, and/or administrators to support educators as they work towards fully implementing UDL into their practice. Through this work, leaders and coaches have the power to design environments and systems of support that empower educators to grow and develop as expert learners, directly impacting the learning environments they create for students.

Participants in this course will dive deeper into the implementation of UDL through thoughtful analysis of system drivers to support adaptive change, enhance their study of best practices to support implementation, and advance the application of key learnings to their organization’s current journey to UDL.

Melissa Toland, M.Ed. is a passionate UDL advocate with extensive knowledge and expertise in utilizing technology to universally design instruction, and enhance learning experiences for all students in the areas of language arts, english language development, and journalism. In her current position, Melissa supports district-wide UDL implementation through professional development trainings, and instructional coaching. As a secondary classroom teacher, Melissa successfully integrated the principles of UDL to design learning experiences for diverse learners. Melissa developed the UDL Implementation Rubric as a professional development tool to encourage teachers to self-assess and monitor their own learning as they strive to meet the needs of all students through universally designed instruction.

I really liked all of the different options we had to complete our work. I especially liked having the option to do interactive remote calls and to be able to collaborate with other educators. I was even able to connect with educators from other countries. I thought it was really nice to be able to hear different perspectives from others.

Melissa was so engaging and really positive. I appreciated her feedback. I also loved how the course modeled UDL for us - I've never seen it modeled before so I really appreciated actually seeing it, instead of the usual "you need to use UDL" without any instructions on how.
