With such diverse speakers and participants, I experienced UDL as interpreted through many different lenses and my knowledge was enhanced by the experiences and perspectives of all who attended.

CAST UDL Symposium Participant

The Annual CAST UDL Symposium is an opportunity to go beyond the basics of Universal Design for Learning and explore the intersections between UDL and larger topics in the field of education. Past Symposia have explored learner engagement, building a UDL community, social justice, and learner empowerment.

  • Capacity: A capacity event is focused on supporting the growth and development of UDL implementation within a specific region.
  • Sustainability: A sustainability event is focused on continuing the maintenance of UDL implementation within a region.
  • Blended: A blended event may combine more than one type of event (e.g., ignite, capacity, sustainability) based on the needs of a given region.
  • Targeted Summit or Gathering: Brings together a group of people around targeted needs. Examples might include a research event or an education leadership event.
