Scale Phase
Adjust, Enhance and Expand
?Questions To Ask At Scale Phase
● What areas of UDL are we doing well with? How can we expand on that?
● What areas of UDL do we still have gaps? How can we target these specific needs?
● Are there current initiatives (Educator Effectiveness, Common Core State Standards, Multi-Level System of Support, etc.) that need to be more effectively aligned to UDL?
● What results do we have to support continued expansion of UDL implementation?
● How will we fund the continued enhancement and expansion of UDL implementation?
● What are our commitments for on-going professional development relative to UDL?

Possible Next Steps
District/School Level:

● Build capacity (UDL Coaches/Coordinators, etc.)
● Use funding strategically to ensure UDL
● Incorporate UDL into teacher evaluations; Principal observations should include UDL “look fors”
● Provide professional development in UDL and model UDL principles in all professional development
● Monitor UDL classroom implementation, provide feedback, coach
● Educate and involve parents
● Identify where effective practices are already occurring and create a plan to build on this
Classroom Level:
● Invite a colleague or coach to observe in your classroom and provide UDL related feedback
● Educate your students in UDL and then engage them in providing you with feedback on how you are doing with UDL
● Share lessons that went well with colleagues
● Consider presenting at a UDL related conference
● Keep data/document student engagement & feedback on universally designed lessons
● Self assess using Self Reflection on UDL Implementation
● Self-Reflection using the Equitable Classroom Practices Self-Assessment
