Building collaborative teacher education: Integrating UDL through a faculty learning community
Journal of Practitioner Research,, Vol.5(2), Article 5

Abstract
Teacher educators have focused reform efforts on preparing graduates to address increasingly diverse K-12 students. Collaboration among general and special education faculty is seen as beneficial for preparing teacher candidates who can teach diverse learners, yet it is not the norm. This practitioner research explored a curriculum reform effort that used a faculty learning community (FLC) to engage general and special education faculty in the process of integrating Universal Design for Learning (UDL) into a teacher education program. Faculty perceptions of the collaborative reform process and resulting curriculum enhancements are presented. Findings indicated the process was valued by our faculty, promoted a stronger culture of collaboration, and resulted in program improvements. This study offers guidance to other teacher education faculty interested in collaborative reform.
