Activities can be chosen that allow students to showcase their knowledge, values, and culture. Assessments that are flexible and allow for different ways to show what students have learned, followed by discussions of growth can be beneficial. Allowing students to feel as if they have a voice in their classroom community is important in reaching different learners.
    Some ideas include:
    • Allow students to share ideas for projects
    • Connect curriculum to the real world 
    • Conference with students to discuss strengths/weaknesses
    • Provide multiple modes of answering a question
    • Conduct interviews to determine student interests
    • Use games/other technology to foster skill practice
    • Utilize peer teaching
    • Provide audiobooks
