Just like face-to-face teachers, online teachers must be able to reach a wide range of learners. They must be able to meet the needs of an individual as indicated in an IEP or 504. They must be able to create accessible documents for students with visual, auditory, or fine motor skill weaknesses. The teacher must also be able to make accommodations for students who are learning English as a second language. At the same time, teachers must be able to appropriately challenge more advanced learners.

In my course work for the endorsement program, I learned of the challenges to making documents accessible. I also have the privilege to have a classmate who was a teacher for students with visual impairments. I learned more from asking her about resources specifically meant for math education than I have learned through more formal undergraduate courses.

To show that I have met this standard, I am attaching a document where I made recommendations for improving the accessibility of an online lesson on exponents. This document was copy and pasted from a discussion board class. I've also included a case study that I did on a high achieving student. I've also included a short report that I wrote after researching an assistive technology device.
