"It’s about the students” means recognizing the diverse experiences, backgrounds, skills, and goals that students bring into the classroom.

This can include topics such as:

Alternative assessments

Supporting students’ mental health and well-being

Bridging digital divides and technology gaps

Supporting intellectual diversity through varied pedagogies

Creating pathways for student agency and ownership in learning

Preparing students for the future of work

Encouraging a sense of belonging and community
