The UDL Transforming High School Learning Environments (UDL-THSLE) project is a collaboration between César E. Chávez High School in Houston, Texas, the Region 4 (Texas) Educational Service Center (ESC), and All In, an education consultancy group. This pre-conference session will use a blended format to describe the fifth year of multi-year Universal Design for Learning project through the lens of the UDL leadership team, made up of school administrators, teacher leaders, regional support staff and UDL coaches. This session will guide participants through the phases of UDL implementation, with a specific focus on scaling UDL into practice in a large, urban high school. Participants in this session will explore a variety of resources related to UDL implementation including lesson plans, educator self assessments using the UDL progression rubric, teacher leadership PLC resources, school data, and professional learning materials. Note: This session is appropriate for those who may have attended the pre conference session in 2018. This session will specifically focus on scaling UDL in a high school. It is also appropriate for those new to UDL implementation as a second pathway will be offered to explore the phases of UDL implementation and related application in a high school.
