Problem of Practice
Problem of Practice
CCUSD’s problem of practice is that inclusive instruction is not yet consistently designed to remove barriers, so student outcomes are uneven—especially for students with disabilities and other learners who need more flexible access to grade-level learning.
Our Strategies
Our Strategies
Unified Theory of Action to continue to develop a culture of belonging and collaboration where all educators design for learner variability.
Culture of Belonging by cultivating trust, shared purpose, and community that honors each person’s strengths.
Capacity Building & Collaboration by providing ongoing, job‑embedded learning that supports risk‑taking, reflection, and UDL innovation.
Continuous Improvement & Feedback which establishes clear systems to gather, analyze, and act on feedback from students, staff, and families.
System Alignment & Coherence that align policies, structures, and resources to remove barriers and ensure equitable access.
Desired Student Outcomes
Desired Student Outcomes
Students with disabilities gain greater access to core instruction with fewer pull‑outs.
Students show higher engagement through relevant, varied, and culturally responsive learning.
Students build confidence and independence as instruction becomes clearer and more accessible.
All learners benefit from multiple ways to learn and show understanding, improving performance on assessments.
Why we joined the Network
Why we joined the Network
Culver City Unified School District adopted Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as its core innovation because it offers a research‑based framework that anticipates learner variability instead of reacting to it. We lacked a unified inclusion plan with clear expectations and consistent practices, and UDL provides a systemwide approach that supports both general and special educators in creating accessible, rigorous learning environments. By emphasizing proactive planning, flexible pathways, and the removal of systemic barriers, UDL aligns with our Theory of Action and commitment to equity. As Culver City USD builds a culture of belonging and shared responsibility, UDL becomes the organizing structure that ensures inclusive practices are consistent, sustainable, and embedded in daily instruction. Ultimately, UDL gives us a roadmap for delivering equitable, high‑quality learning experiences across all schools.
