CAST is partnering with schools who are currently applying the Sobrato Early Academic Language (SEAL) approach to support multilingual learners to explore how the UDL guidelines and the SEAL approach can intersect to best support the needs of multilingual learners.
Using job-embedded professional learning CAST and SEAL are examining the connections between the UDL Guidelines and the SEAL approach. We are exploring teachers’ experiences applying these two frameworks in complementary ways–as well as the experiences of students, parents, and caregivers. The California Coalition for Inclusive Learning project is also providing support.
Learn more about our methods, findings, and recommendations for how Universal Design for Learning and the SEAL approach can be used in complementary ways to support multilingual learners to thrive. Download the Executive Summary for a quick overview.
