This connects to our focus today because it reminds us that no one really "fits the average".]]> 2022-03-23 13:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandy_millar/8gl6e5bwphiov9ru/wish/2109717779 Connections https://padlet.com/sandy_millar/8gl6e5bwphiov9ru/wish/2109718377 Both show that the idea of 'average' serves very few.

- Providing students with choices so that they can choose their interests (voice and choice) 
- Use democracy when you can (student vote) 
- Give them a voice to share their thoughts in a safe environment
