Inclusive Learning by Design
We help partners design curriculum, assessments, and learning materials that expand access, preserve rigor, and support meaningful participation for all learners.
What We Do
STAC works with partners to strengthen curriculum, assessments, and learning materials through inclusive design. Our work helps reduce barriers, improve usability, and support meaningful participation for a wider range of learners, including students with disabilities, while maintaining rigor and purpose.
- Review and refine learning materials to improve accessibility, usability, and inclusion
- Design curriculum that supports meaningful participation for a wider range of learners
- Strengthen assessments so they reduce unnecessary barriers and better reflect student understanding
- Preserve rigor and instructional purpose while improving access and clarity
- Provide training and consultation to help teams build long-term inclusive design capacity
How We’re Different
“Accessibility is built into quality design..”
“Expanding access should support full participation in rigorous learning.”
“We help partners remove barriers while maintaining rigor and purpose.”
STAC approaches accessibility as part of strong learning design, not a separate layer added at the end. We help partners improve materials in ways that reduce barriers, strengthen usability, and support meaningful participation, all while preserving rigor and instructional purpose. Our work is practical, collaborative, and grounded in how materials are actually used by learners and educators.
1. Inclusive design is connected to learning goals
We approach accessibility as part of strong educational design, ensuring that curriculum, materials, and assessments support meaningful participation.
2. Rigor stays at the center
We help partners reduce barriers while preserving the challenge, purpose, and evidence of student thinking.
3. Coherence across curriculum, assessment, and materials
We help partners make design decisions that align across systems rather than treating accessibility as a separate task.
4. Capacity building is part of the partnership
Through collaboration, consultation, and training, we help teams strengthen both current products and future practice.
What Partners Experience
Organizations that partner with STAC see tangible improvements in both materials and practice:
- Curriculum, assessments, and materials that better support access and participation
- Reduced barriers without compromising rigor or intended learning
- Stronger alignment between accessibility, instructional purpose, and evidence of learning
- Greater confidence in design decisions that support diverse learners
- Increased internal capacity to carry inclusive design work forward
Design for access without compromising rigor.
STAC helps partners strengthen curriculum, assessments, and learning materials so more learners can participate meaningfully and show what they know.
Let’s design learning experiences that expand access and preserve meaningful learning.
