Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
In-Class Coaching

With precision, ADAC provides to your teachers the one-on-one, customized aid they need to become preeminent practitioners of UDL.

Via on-site, in-classroom support, we provide to your faculty assistance with the development and implementation of:

  • UDL guidelines to ensure that in each classroom there are meaningful and effective means of representation, engagement, and expression, as envisioned by UDL
  • UDL-directed and designed lesson plans

Variance in the methods of representation. Variance in the methods of expression. Variance in the methods of engagement. Regarding UDL, these “variances” delimit and define the so-called “UDL framework.”

Among teachers there is also variance, experiential and otherwise. This variance includes differences between and among teachers regarding the relative degree(s) to which they, as individual education professionals, are or might be familiar with UDL’s contours and aims.

In becoming for each teacher a UDL mentor, ADAC works to cultivate within each teacher, first, the confidence and, second, the charisma that each teacher wants and needs in order to become, and remain, an educational professional who, each and every day, is invigorated to do what they do best from within the framework that is UDL.
