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.
Deepen your understanding of UDL implementation through exploration, application, and discussion.
Create a vision for UDL implementation and a clear plan to shift organizational policies and practices to reflect the core values of UDL.
Develop strategies to support all UDL implementers, with a focus on those resistant to change and explore implementation best practices for creating a lasting impact through adaptive change
