PreK-12 Professional Development
We partner with PreK-12 educators to co-design learning experiences, professional development, and educational systems using the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, fostering access and agency for all students to thrive.

Transform your classroom and inspire young minds
From pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, CAST’s Professional Learning team recognizes that barriers to learning are in the educational design, not individuals. By embracing variability in learning, the principles of UDL help students feel engaged and flourish at all stages of their lives.

Here’s how CAST partners with PreK-12 Professionals
CAST’s Professional Learning team empowers PreK-12 administrators, coaches, and teachers to lead transformational change by implementing UDL. We ensure educators build the knowledge and skills necessary to reshape pedagogical practices and build systems that close achievement gaps, include students with IEPs, support English learners, and strengthen school culture.
Our hands-on training also builds internal capacity, leaving schools and districts with the scalable expertise to lead long-term change.
Our UDL professional learning and development plans for PreK-12 environments are flexible and collaborative, and we can work with any school or district’s unique needs and budgetary constraints.
Online courses for your Professional Learning
CAST offers online courses to explore the basics of UDL, start utilizing the UDL framework and UDL Guidelines, or start implementing UDL at a larger, systemic scale. Check out our flexible course options to pick the format that suits your needs best.
Custom solutions for every school, district, and state
CAST Professional Learning offers a variety of flexible service options that can adapt to the unique needs of PreK-12 environments everywhere. We provide consulting, coaching, collaborative learning, speaking engagements with our specialists, and other training to inspire educators and support learners, from single classrooms to entire states.
