Accessible Board Work

Be sure that your board work is accessible to all students. The following tips will help you create clear and legible board writing.

• Use thick black or blue whiteboard markers.
• Write in large print letters. Avoid cursive or block print.
• When colour coding, use blue and orange colours, and use a second indicator, like a shape, in case of extreme colour blindness.

Walk to the back of the classroom and check that the contrast of your marker, the neatness of your printing, and size of your letters/numbers are visible from all seats.
