No matter what the unique makeup of your classroom, educators must support diverse learners so they can achieve mastery of the content. Each student must demonstrate what they learned, but how they understand it or demonstrate it doesn't have to be the same. While the school curriculum is important for equity, providing supplemental resources that support all learners is important to give them the means they need to be successful.
