To increase the use of UDL Practices in California, the Inclusion Collaborative, in partnership with local and national partners, developed several online professional development modules to support equitable, inclusive practices for all students within general education. Building from the UDL Guidelines, online professional development sessions were developed and made available to administrators and teachers in partnering districts. This session describes the process for developing these modules to align to quality design principles, adhere to the UDL Guidelines, and provide users with individualized and flexible options for navigating each module. The session also discusses how flexible and ongoing online professional development and credentialing system can support new and veteran educators in sustaining inclusive and equitable practices.

A PLC dedicated to UDL is an effective way to support the first year of UDL implementation across schools or departments.  The first year of implementation is a critical time to explore the UDL principles and guidelines at a deeper level through ongoing discourse.  This series of modules developed and used successfully by the HIAT Team of Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), provides a structure for the development of a UDL-PLC.  It assumes that foundational professional learning on the UDL framework has already occurred.
