Building Capacity for UDL Implementation is a practical course for coaches and school leaders focused on moving UDL into everyday instructional practice. Participants learn coaching tools and routines that strengthen Tier 1 instruction, remove barriers, and support teachers in designing lessons that honor learner variability.
Building Capacity for UDL Implementation is a practical course designed for instructional coaches, department heads, teacher leaders, and school leaders who play a central role in supporting high-quality, inclusive instruction. As schools work to strengthen Tier 1 practices and remove barriers to learning, leaders and coaches need a shared set of tools, strategies, and routines that help teachers apply Universal Design for Learning (UDL) with clarity and confidence. Through readings, modeling, applied practice, and reflection, participants will learn how to support teachers in designing flexible lessons, improving student engagement, and developing classroom systems that honor learner variability. The course focuses on coaching techniques, effective feedback routines, and creating the conditions for collaboration, reflection, and sustained instructional improvement.
An initiative in Fraser Public Schools is to have UDL be the framework from which our educators design their learning experiences for students. We have implemented some training and provided teacher coaches; however, we are wanting to develop a cohesive plan that ties all of the work we do together. I registered my entire team – Administrators, coaches, and myself – for this course so we could all re-calibrate ourselves and build a plan that works for us. I can speak for the entire team when I say that this course was beyond expectation. It was thorough, full of resources, thought-provoking, and provided a logical scope and sequence to begin designing a plan for us. Beyond providing an abundance of resources, the course itself was a model for UDL practices for all participants to experience by providing multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression of responses. Further, Lisa was prompt with her responses and provided individual feedback to every participant. My team found it helpful to be able to read ideas from and respond to all the other participants in the course. This course did not disappoint and I would recommend it to anyone who is just getting started with UDL or, like us, wanting to re-calibrate and drive forward. We now have a plan that connects our teacher goals, coaching cycles, and professional development schedule.

This course is a facilitated, instructor-led course that takes place with a core group of students over a set period of time. Each week (or the timeframe as outlined within the schedule) students will join a live course session, explore resources on their own time, and complete an assignment. Students will receive feedback along the way from the course facilitator on how to improve the practical application of their learning. Additionally, students will engage with other students in the course - offering the opportunity to connect with varying levels of educators from around the world.
Live sessions are an opportunity to connect and collaborate in real time. But schedules can be tricky - so if you cannot attend live, we will post the recording within the course within 24 hours of the session.
