Digital learning materials should open doors, not create barriers. Yet, for many K-12 districts, ensuring accessibility across hundreds of courses and digital tools can feel overwhelming. The truth is, accessible design is just good teaching with fewer obstacles—and it doesn’t require perfection to start making an impact.

In this session, we will step away from the theory and dive into real classroom materials. We’ll explore how to identify the most common hidden barriers in everyday content and apply the POUR principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust) to pages, assignments, and media. You will leave with practical routines designed to help you and your teachers build sustainable accessibility habits.

Finally, we will explore how technology can do the heavy lifting for your district. We’ll showcase how Canvas Plus is designed to support and scale these best practices. You will see how tools like the Accessibility Insights Dashboard give administrators a bird’s-eye view of course accessibility health across the institution, and more.
