What we are aiming for, what we have done, and what is still not right.

Our Commitment

We make materials for teachers, and teachers are as varied as the students they teach. A site that only works for some of them is not finished.

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA across this site. That is a standard, not a boast. It means measurable things about contrast, keyboard access, structure and alternative text.

What We Have Done

  • Text and background colors are checked for contrast, including on our darker sections.
  • Every page can be navigated by keyboard alone.
  • Headings are structured in order, so screen readers can move through a page sensibly.
  • Images that carry meaning have alternative text.
  • Videos in our classes are captioned.
  • The site reflows to narrow screens and tolerates being zoomed.

What We Know Is Not Right Yet

Being honest is more useful than claiming perfection:

  • Some older PDFs are not fully tagged for screen readers. We are working through them, newest and most-used first.
  • A few third-party embeds do not fully meet the standard, and we do not control their code.
  • Some decorative illustrations are still awaiting proper alternative text.

If Something Blocks You

Tell us. It is the fastest way for us to find what testing missed, and we will treat it as a bug, not a favor.

Email CustomerService@thesixshifts.com with the page and what happened. If you need a resource in a different format (a tagged PDF, a plain-text version, a transcript), ask and we will get it to you.
