Inclusive by Design: Centering Belonging and Neurodiversity in Everyday Practice
In person at our learning site in Brooklyn, NY. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when registration opens.
What does inclusive teaching look like when it’s part of everyday practice—not just a goal?
The Inclusive by Design Institute is a three-day, hands-on experience for school teams ready to design classrooms that offer meaningful access, agency, flexibility, and connection for all learners. Grounded in Universal Design for Learning (UDL), the institute focuses on inclusive planning and instructional design as a foundation for deeper student belonging. It addresses how to support all students in becoming engaged, interdependent learners who are empowered with a deeper understanding of how learning spaces can be designed and accessed.f
Designed for teams of 3–5 educators and school leaders, the experience includes:
Live classroom visits to see inclusive practices and instruction in action
Collaborative sessions that explore the core principles of UDL and inclusive design
Practical planning time to apply inclusive tools and approaches to your own curriculum
Team coaching to support sustainable, school-wide shifts
You'll leave with strategies you can implement immediately—and a clear, shared plan to foster more inclusive and affirming learning environments for every student.

Notes regarding registration:
Must register with teams of 3-5 educators from the same school site.
We strongly recommend that each team includes a school leader to ensure the work can be sustained and supported across the school community.
Institute+Coaching packages are available on the registration page. This option offers attendance to the Institute accompanied with follow up Coaching that allows for more catered focus and process planning based on the goal that your team set at the Institute. That package will include 5 coaching calls that center on moving your school site closer to your goal and creating longer term goals to move your school and classrooms to be more equitable spaces for all children.
