No one person engages in learning the same way. Schools are made up of diverse communities of students, all of whom deserve access to an equitable education – including best-in-class learning solutions and technologies. Some students have specialized learning needs and benefit from accessible options like translation in a home language or hearing a text read at a slower speed. When learning environments are created to address and support the unique needs of all students, equity becomes possible. Tools that give students an easy way to have texts of all kinds read aloud and offer customizable reading preferences can help limit reading distractions and help readers focus.

Each day teachers work tirelessly to prepare students for a future full of varied demands and challenges. In response to these challenges and opportunities, employers and educators have developed important skills-based programs to assist young people in gaining evergreen skills for the workplace of the future. Communication skills, including public speaking, are essential for career and workplace readiness. To become strong communicators, students must have multiple opportunities to practice while receiving meaningful feedback. Microsoft Speaker Coach provides real-time feedback in addition to an analytical report that can meaningfully improve a student’s presentation and speaking skills.

Math Assistant in Microsoft OneNote empowers students to access and engage with mathematical content and concepts in more personalized ways. With built-in process explanations and Immersive Reader, students can access the instruction that they need when they need it and in their preferred format and language. Math Assistant offers a more comprehensive and accessible solution that helps students become expert learners.

Inclusive design allows all people—regardless of native language, ability, or needs—to participate fully in the world. In a K-12 classroom, inclusive design provides each student the tools and resources they need to engage with content, collaborate with their peers, process new ideas and skills, and express their knowledge. Students and teachers alike need simple-to-use tools that empower classroom learning. Available across platforms and devices, Microsoft OneNote Live Captions allows students to automatically generate captions of lessons into OneNote notebooks in real time.

Since 2000, immigration patterns in the U.S. have shifted to include many more hubs around the country as opposed to several high concentrations, which has led to schools becoming increasingly diverse and serving more bilingual students. Consequently, the ability to effectively translate learning resources, both written and spoken, is a core tenant of the modern classroom. English Language Learners deserve the same right to a great education as their English-speaking peers. They deserve access to a rich curriculum and validation of their home language and culture. They deserve the best we have to give them.

Accessible solutions are not merely a nice-to-have option, but are, in fact, a must have component of any technology solution. As more and more educators have flipped their instructional approaches to meet the needs of blended and hybrid learning, the result has been an increase in the amount of teacher-generated content as well as a greater reliance on open education resources, or OERs. Regardless of the source of the curriculum – a traditional publisher, OER, or educator-created – schools need to ensure all these meet compliance regulations and are accessible to all learners.

Student and staff physical and mental health has been a growing concern over the past two years, and the 2022-2023 school will most likely see those concerns in greater focus. In order to address this issue, schools have been implementing social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum, training, and other solutions.

As educators continue to depend upon digital learning resources to meet their students’ learning needs, close attention must be given to the 12 million U.S. student with limited or no home internet access—disproportionally students of color, those living in poverty, and rural communities—has on learners. When comparing both offline file access to learning content, accessibility, on-device storage, and offline creation and editing, Windows 11 devices provide a superior experience for learners than the equivalent experiences on Google Chrome OS.
