Teacher Continuous Professional Development (TCCD) Cohort Two Pilot Report

The TeachWell pilot assessed classroom practices across five pedagogical domains—lesson structure, Learning through Play (LtP), Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), and learner experience—through lesson observations, teacher surveys, and qualitative feedback in both host and refugee schools.

Findings show strong teacher uptake of UDL, with 93.8% reporting confidence and ease in applying its principles, and high enthusiasm for LtP. However, its classroom use was more limited than teachers’ self-reports suggest. While confidence is high and practices are widespread, there are nuanced differences in the application of UDL’s three pillars between host and refugee schools.
