As teachers, we know how important it is to reach every learner that walks into our classroom. But how do we go about doing that when there is such a diverse group of students in every class? Today, I am sharing 4 practical tips on how to reach every learner in your high school science classes.

Reaching every single one of your students can seem overwhelming but I am here to help give you practical tips to help you do just that. In this episode, I am sharing the importance of getting to know every student as a person, how eliminating homework can benefit you and your students, why you should use a variety of assessments, and the importance of checking your test questions for bias. 

Our students come to us with so many different backgrounds, home lives, experiences, and preferences but there are simple things we can do in our classrooms to make sure we are reaching them all and making an impact. 

My hope is that all of these tips will inspire you to make this your most impactful year yet. Be sure to follow and subscribe to Secondary Science Simplified Podcast wherever you listen so you don’t miss upcoming episodes!
