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.
“This is by far the best professional development I have participated in during my 15 years as a teacher.” —CAST Professional Learning Participant
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 development plans for PreK-12 are flexible and collaborative, and we can work with any school or district’s unique needs and budgetary constraints.
Need a more custom solution for your school?
CAST is proud to offer services based on your PreK-12 school’s unique needs. We provide consulting, coaching, collaborative learning, speaking engagements with CAST specialists, and other training to motivate your team.
