The course exceeded my expectations. I appreciated the fact that it was "UDLed" since it truly made me experience it as a student and see how it can lift barriers I wasn't even aware existed. It also gave me useful tools to be a better coach and further implement UDL in my practice and institution.

Transform your educational leadership with universally designed coaching.
In today's diverse and inclusive educational landscape, effective UDL implementation is more critical than ever.

This course equips leaders with the tools, strategies, and mindset necessary to support transformative change. Participants will develop transformational coaching techniques, empowering them to support teachers in integrating UDL effectively, all while drawing on UDL best practices and data-focused coaching strategies.
Participants will learn how to cultivate a culture of collaboration, experimentation, and innovation, along with fostering a growth mindset among staff to ensure a shared vision and implementation of UDL. Whether you're an instructional coach looking to support individual teachers or a building leader aiming to transform your school's approach to inclusive instruction, this course will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to support teachers with confidence and make a lasting impact on student learning outcomes.
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.

A facilitated course is an 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 complete an assignment and/or participate in a discussion. Students will receive feedback along the way from the subject matter expert 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.
With the asynchronous nature of the course, you can review the course learnings as quickly or as leisurely as you like based on your schedule as long as you stick within the outlined due dates.
Live sessions are an opportunity to connect and collaborate in real time. But schedules can be tricky - so if you cannot attend live or that is not your thing, no worries, we will post the recording within the course within 24 hours of the session.

We will begin in this chapter by dealing with some general quantum mechanical ideas. Some of the statements will be quite precise, others only partially precise. It will be hard to tell you as we go along which is which, but by the time you have finished the rest of the book, you will understand in looking back which parts hold up and which parts were only explained roughly.
