Administrators will observe teachers planning and teaching lessons featuring universal design characteristics.
Attendance will be taken at high school faculty presentations on UDL, special ed. transition services offered and regular ed. role in transition planning

This spring and fall we will plan how to implement UDL. In the coming school year, we hope to see UDL become a regular part of instruction at Niskayuna CSD.
If administrators observe that UDL principles are not incorporated in teachers' lessons or faculty meetings are not well attended then an alternate presentation will be provided concerning the value of UDL and transition planning.

Internally we will share info. via the First Class website and externally via the District web site and newsletter.
