Equity Reflection

Once upon a time there was an High School Instructional Technology Coordinator and Science Teacher, who happens to me me.

And every day, I work very hard to create a variety of engaging learning activities for all of my students.

Every day my primary focus was on student centered learning experiences

And almost every day, HyperDocs are a big part of the learning experience. The goal was differentiated learning for all.

And almost every day, Formative assessment helped me and the students explore what they know.

Then one day I started to explore equity and the digital divide.

Because of that, I learned that there is a great deal about equity that I don't know.

Because of that, I realized that maybe he wasn’t doing enough to support all learners in his classroom.

Because of that, I've decided to focus more on the culture and our differences in my classroom.

Also because of that, I've decided to create more resources and activities that support all learners in his classroom

Until finally I hope to build bridges with all of my students to grow a classroom full of passionate lifelong learners.
