The virtual Professional Learning Group (PLG) is for SEA and LEA teams ready to implement the Quality Indicators for the Provision and Use of Accessible Materials in PreK–12 Systems. Participants receive one year of targeted technical assistance through the PLG, followed by the option to join a Community of Practice for continued support. The PLG meets on the second Thursday of every month, 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET. Enrollment is always open to new teams.
Preparing for the PLG
To prepare for the PLG, teams should have a foundational understanding of the Quality Indicators and available implementation supports. Our archived webinar series, Powering Digital Accessibility Through Systemic Action, can help teams build that understanding as needed. The series is designed for teams preparing to implement one or both sets of Quality Indicators, independently or with support from NCADEMI’s PLG.
