Reason: I like how this article addressed religious persecution as a civil rights issue. It poses a call to action to schools to create an inclusive school culture, and encourages them to address religiously-based bullying.

Reason: Although this article addresses college instructors directly, I felt that the principles discussed could translate to other grades, especially high school level students. I like how it provided various examples that instructors can relate to. It discusses the importance of leveling the playing field, and making accommodations so that students from all walks of life can relate to the content and succeed in school.

It then progresses by presenting questions that teachers should be asking themselves about the biases that they might carry with them in relation to gender. The final part of the article talks about feasible steps that educators can take to help reduce gender bias in the classroom.

Reason: This article made some incredibly strong points in relation to bias against special education students. It addresses that teachers need to pay attention to their students' individual needs, and recognize that their disability can affect how they perform in the classroom. It encourages teachers to allow these special students to feel involved and active in their learning, but provide them with the accommodations that they need to succeed.

Reason: This article addresses an essential component of a teacher's approach to any type of bias: their attitude. When we assess our own attitudes and see how we can change them, we can better help make our students with disabilities  feel more welcome in the classroom.
