Clear & Connected: Creating ADA-Friendly Newsletters and Flyers
Wednesday August 19, 2026 7:45am - 8:30am CDT
When we send out weekly newsletters, permission slip updates, or classroom announcements, we want 100% of our families to receive the message. But did you know that standard practices, like emailing a screenshot of a flyer or pasting giant website links, accidentally lock out parents who rely on translation apps, screen magnifiers, or smartphones to read school updates?
In this practical, 45-minute session, we will shift our focus to parent and student communication. You will learn how a few tiny, effortless tweaks to your emails and newsletters can ensure your messages are perfectly readable for every family, every time.
This is a hands-on session. Bring a template or draft of a communication you send home often (a weekly update, a syllabus, or a field trip flyer). We will give it an "accessibility makeover" together so you can start the upcoming school year communicating with total confidence!

Hold Back the Flood! Create & Design Instruction for Success Before Struggle
Wednesday August 19, 2026 8:45am - 10:15am CDT
What if we approached unit planning more like flood prevention? We would anticipate pressure points before problems arise, and put supports in place beforehand. This session will give you (K-12, any content) a practical diagnostic framework to prepare for the academic, social, and executive demands of a unit before it trickles over. We will build support proactively and make instruction more efficient for both students and teachers. You will be given time to listen, then time to work.
