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 early childhood through secondary education, CAST’s Professional Learning team recognizes that barriers to learning are in the educational design, not individuals. By embracing learner variability, the principles of UDL help PreK-12 students feel engaged and flourish at all stages of their lives.
We make custom solutions for every school, district, and state
CAST’s Professional Learning team empowers system leaders, administrators, coaches, and teachers to lead transformational change by implementing UDL. Following the principles of UDL, we offer flexible service options that adapt to the unique professional learning and development needs of early childhood through secondary environments everywhere.
We inspire educators and transform learning at all scales: from a single K-12 classroom to entire states and countries. Whether it’s a keynote to spark change or multi-year projects to restructure educational frameworks at a national level, our specialists provide the coaching and collaborative tools necessary to support every learner, everywhere.
How CAST partners for long term success
Our hands-on professional learning builds internal capacity, equipping schools and systems with the scalable expertise to drive long-term change. We ensure educators develop the knowledge and skills to reshape pedagogical practices and design systems that close achievement gaps, include students with disabilities (including those with IEPs), support multilingual and English learners, and strengthen school culture.
Our UDL training for early childhood through secondary environments is flexible and collaborative, designed to adapt to any partner’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.
