Empowering Educators With UDL

A Coaching Approach

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 is designed specifically for instructional coaches, department heads, and building leaders in schools who are committed to implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) across their learning environments in a comprehensive and sustainable way. 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.
