When planning lessons, I

am aware of the potential
areas of bias and I plan
for responses within the
lesson. Right now, in ELA,
we are going through a
government unit that talk
about voting right for
particular groups of
people. I plan ahead
knowing what types of
bias I may have, or my
students might have, and
add in discussion time for
use to respond to each
other and to keep our
bias’s in check. (9/22/20)

I try to adapt my lessons

as best I can. I have
students that could
qualify for GATE right
now and students that
need extra time to
accomplish similar tasks.
My school has a fair
amount of flexibility and I
am trying to navigate and
find the best
accommodations for each
student. I try to make
everything that I post
online, but also offer that
student may print and
use as a hard copy. When
it comes to larger
assignment, I let students
have more flexibility of
how they want to present
or turn in. For math, I
have used Flipgrid so
students can use words to
explain their math
process instead.
