Incoming physical educators report lacking confidence and knowledge in their ability to create inclusive lesson plans. Many undergraduate and liberal studies students are required to take one adaptative physical education pedagogy course; thus, incoming educators tend to lack an array of instructional tools to ensure all students are participating in activities and engaging with peers. The goal of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is for teachers to use a range of strategies by removing barriers to learning and giving students opportunities to experience physical education to the best of their ability. Physical educators have the foundational tools; they just need to envision using those tools differently. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how, by combining the physical education and UDL frameworks, educators can implement an inclusive lesson with a skills rubric and a summative assessment.  \nKeywords: Universal Design for Learning, physical education, California, inclusive practices, diverse populations  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThis paper aims to amplify the need for physical education teachers to implement and design educational experiences utilizing the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework. Fundamentally, UDL is about the design of the lesson with the diversity of student learning in  \nmind. In addition to adhering to the state and national physical education standards, educators should develop lesson plans that ensure all individual abilities are met, thus enhancing physical literacy. Physical literacy is described as one's ability to express movement through an array of physical activities in varying environments that will contribute to overall health and emotional and social well-being (Mandigo et al., 2012) . Physical education standards and UDL have a common foundation, which is to engage all students through the delivery of instruction that meets varied learning needs; educators should offer students choices in the way learning is acquired, and knowledge is demonstrated, thus empowering students in their educational process (Lieberman & Grenier, 2019). With this, incoming and even veteran physical educators lack an understanding of the UDL framework (Healy et al., 2017) . A misnomer of UDL is that it is a teaching practice for special education students; however, it can be implemented successfully in all general education classes. Regarding the use of UDL, Horton (2020) stated,“Needed by some, but beneficial to all.”  \nThe Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates a \"free and appropriate public education\" (National Center for Education Statistics, 2022) for qualified students ages 3-21 years old. During the fall of 2020, 95% of IDEA-eligible students were enrolled in public school, with 80% of their time spent in the general education classroom (National Center for Education Statistics, 2022) . However, due to minimal practicum opportunities, many incoming physical education teachers feel underprepared to teach diverse populations (Lirgg et al., 2017) . The National Center for Education Statistics (2022) presented 2020-2022 data showing that 7% of educators had less than three years of teaching, and 29% had more than nine years of teaching experience. It is common for undergraduate and preservice liberal studies and physical education (PE) students to have one foundational class in teaching adaptative PE as a part of their required coursework (Healy et al., 2017; Kwon, 2018; Piletic & Davis, 2010).
