Raising the bar
As educators and edtech providers, it’s time we raise the bar for access and equity with content that goes beyond how students access the materials and ensures the materials themselves are accessible.
Content should be differentiated so every learner can access the texts no matter their reading level
Digital platforms used for instruction classroom should be WCAG AA compliant to support students with disabilities
Instructional resources should be available on and offline, on web, mobile, or paper, so students can access content anywhere
Content should include diverse perspectives so students can see themselves and their communities reflected in the texts
“The ease of use for my special education students and the range of reading level for high interest topics has been a lifesaver.”
"I had some students who had less reliable computer access or were not able to engage with online teaching. Being able to download and print the articles with questions for them to use was invaluable."
WCAG 2.1 Level AA Conformance
We’re proud to deliver instructional materials that aim to benefit every student, specifically those with disabilities. Our conformance to WCAG 2.1 AA standards reflects our efforts to provide content that is accessible to all learners.
Perceivable
