Accessibility is about more than just checking boxes; it’s about ensuring our district’s message reaches every student and family. In this high-energy, hands-on workshop, we’re turning compliance and language inclusivity into a competition. Grab your laptop and bring your "messiest" flyers, syllabi, or slide decks for a live BINGO challenge focused on accessibility and inclusivity.
As we dive into the "Big Five" of inclusive design—contrast, typography, alt-text, reading order, and tagging—you’ll apply fixes in real-time to your own documents. We'll also delve into the basics of language translation. Every fix gets you closer to a BINGO and every participant walks away with a "winner’s" toolkit: documents that are professional, beautiful, and accessible to every learner. Let’s prove that inclusive design isn't just a requirement—it’s a game-changer!
