Need to Know: TEA Guidelines for Remote Learning

The Texas Education Agency met Tuesday with superintendents across the state via phone conference to outline guidelines for remote learning opportunities. We anticipate further guidance in the future, including information on health and in-person learning. The information from the call included how attendance would be counted, which ultimately affects school districts’ budgets. Attendance is the leading funding source for schools. 

Headings

Summary

Headings provide structure to your document using paragraph styles (for documents) or heading tags (for web pages). Headings make the structure of your documents accessible to screen readers while improving both scannability and maintainability.

You can apply heading best practices in any written medium, from emails to presentations, newsletters, to blog posts. Everywhere you write, document structure can help you organize your work like an outline.

Alternative Text

Summary

Alternative text, or “alt text” describes the content of images, graphs and charts. It should be added to every image that conveys meaning in instructional and communications materials including websites such as Google and Blend, word processing documents, slide presentations, and social media.
