2.1 Accessibility

I always consider accessibility issues when introducing new technologies and I make sure learners with limited digital access or skills are offered support.
I show that I understand digital technologies can hinder or improve accessibility and I signpost and offer appropriate support.

I source and provide digital content for learners with diverse needs (e.g. learners who use assistive technologies or adapted interfaces).
I include learners with diverse needs when creating materials for digital environments.

I coach others within the organisation on how to embed accessibility in digital practices.
I actively engage with communities of practice and sector bodies with an accessibility focus in a way that moves my and the community’s practice forward.

I use a range of digital media in my teaching that support differentiation and personalisation to enable learners to learn in different ways.
I ensure equal access to the digital technologies I use for all learners.

I edit or adapt digital materials to suit my learners.
I employ digital tools to create differentiated resources that meet the needs of my learners.
I am creative in assessment, so learners have different ways to succeed.

I coach others within the organisation on differentiation and equality in digital practices.

When communicating or producing digital resources OR in my teaching practice, I use language and images that reflect diversity and inclusion practice.
I consult and act on feedback from learners to ensure digital materials are inclusive.

I create and share digital learning objects that reflect diversity and inclusion in my practice.
I co-create digital materials with learners to minimise barriers to learning and encourage participation.

To raise standards, I provide staff development opportunities to ensure the people I work with incorporate diversity and inclusion into their digital practices.
