To promote equity in your classroom, focus on differentiated instruction, cultural responsiveness, and fostering a supportive environment where every student feels valued and understood. These steps can help ensure all learners have equal opportunities to thrive.

- Reflect on your own beliefs: Be aware of your biases and positionality. Understand how your identity (race, gender, ability) influences your teaching. This self-awareness helps you support all students equally
- Reduce race and gender barriers: Avoid asking students of color to be “experts” on their race. Diversify your curriculum to include multicultural and female perspectives.
- Vary instructional methods: Present information in different ways (visual, aural, verbal) to accommodate diverse learning styles.
- Model equity: Demonstrate fairness and respect in your interactions with students.
- Provide targeted support: Identify students at risk of falling behind and offer interventions.
