With that said, my teaching is grounded first and foremost in equity, and I believe that every single student leader, with the right support, can successfully master challenging topics. Equity is about identifying what we need to be successful. As 11th graders, I put the responsibility on YOU to practice your self-advocacy, and learn to identify and communicate what you need in order to be successful. My students do not deserve an equal education; they deserve an equitable one. This is why my teaching varies from student to student. It is always my aim to provide every student with the education that they need. This may look like providing different accommodations, different deadlines, or different styles of assessment.  Academic Integrity Academic Integrity DreamHouse is a learning community with high moral & ethical standards.
