About
The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Huddle exists to strengthen coherence across the region and COEs by connecting UDL implementation practices, measurement strategies, and capacity-building efforts through reflection, data use, and shared learning. It is open to any COE leaders engaged in UDL implementation and support across the CCFAC region. Participants can expect the huddle to offer a collaborative space involving the following:
Reflection and data sharing to ground conversations in authentic practice.
Regional and county updates highlighting progress and lessons learned in UDL implementation.
Spotlights on multilingual learners and dually identified students to elevate equity-focused design.
Resource sharing to spread effective tools, strategies, and supports.
Collaborative problem-solving to build coherence and strengthen inclusive systems across the network.
Equity Imperative
The UDL Huddle aims to ensure that every learner—especially those historically marginalized or underserved—has access to meaningful, challenging, and affirming learning experiences. They commit to using UDL as a lever for equity by examining data, disrupting barriers, and aligning systems so that inclusion is not dependent on circumstance, but embedded in design.
Meetings
The CIDA Huddle typically meets every other month. 2026–27 meeting schedule/cadence TBD.
Contact
Folks interested in joining the UDL Huddle should contact Fred Cochran (jacochran@sjcoe.net) and Heather Fujita (hfujita@placercoe.net).

This toolkit is the place to turn to when you need practical resources to support learning, practice, and implementation. Resources include templates, UDL in Action videos, slide decks, training modules, monitoring tools, and practical implementation tools.
The California Coalition for Inclusive Learning's UDL Playbook documents California's journey with UDL implementation and key lessons learned, including why UDL matters and adaptable recommendations for implementation.
This guide will help you build understanding, plan implementation, support continuous improvement, and monitor progress as you work on UDL implementation and consider where you are, where you want to go, and what might come next.
In our dynamic region, we take pride in our commitment to fostering inclusive practices in education. As leaders in the field of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), we are excited to share the impact of several grant initiatives that propel our mission forward. These grants not only support the implementation of inclusive practices but also provide valuable opportunities for free professional development.
