UDL’s principles enable educators in higher education institutions to reach all students through multiple means of Engagement, Representation, and Action and Expression. While there is substantial evidence supporting UDL in the academic setting, the application of UDL principles in the clinical setting is less well explored. The purposes of this pilot project are (a) to develop a curriculum for coaching clinical educators in application of the UDL framework in their practice and (b) to provide coaching and technical assistance to implement UDL with students in clinical settings.

This conference proceeding describes implementation of a UDL coaching methodology at the Oakland Intermediate School District and Farmington Public Schools.  Readers will learn how UDL coaches support student learning by mentoring general education teachers and building student-centered environments. The model is based on a three-pronged approach to address barriers at the district, building, and classroom levels. UDL coaching provides a blueprint for districts to establish innovative classroom practices that help make curriculum accessible to all students.
