About Quality Indicator 3 Written Guidelines @AEM_Center

Quality Indicator 3 The agency develops and implements written guidelines related to effective and efficient acquisition, provision, and use of accessible materials and technologies. Intent: Written guidelines include the roles, knowledge, skills, actions, alignment, and coordination required for delivery of accessible materials and technologies in a timely manner. Guidelines are communicated in multiple ways (e.g., webinars, infographics, websites) and broadly disseminated to ensure that all responsible parties can understand and apply them. @AEM_Center

Sample Components of Quality Indicator 3 Guidance that specifies federal, state, and local policies (accessibility standards, copyright, IDEA, etc.) Procedural guidelines for decision-making processes related to students who need AEM and accessible technologies (IEP documentation, transition plans, Summaries of Performance, etc.) Procedural guidelines for procurement processes (RFPs, contracts, OER curation, etc.) Delineation of duties and responsibilities at all levels @AEM_Center
