Accessible Board Work
Share this Teaching Tip
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.
