This presentation describes effective professional development in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to better support inclusive teaching practices for K-8 teachers. Specifically, the presentation will describe the successful design and implementation of a two-year instructional rounds model of professional development. Instructional rounds engage participants in a collaborative inquiry process that results in discussion and examination of instruction. I will detail how this evidence-based approach helped teachers in a K-8 school district build a common language and understanding of effective, inclusive teaching and learning; engage in critical reflection to improve inclusive practices; and increase individual and collective self-efficacy.
