Thank you for sharing, Sarah! I think this short article reminds us to be cognizant of HOW we teach as much as what we teach. So many times, we become familiar with material and the "lesson" the way we've always taught it, but there is such benefit it re-working a lesson to change up methods, media, viewpoint, etc. Each class is different- different dynamics, different backgrounds and cultures, different skill levels, and different points of view. Great motivation to always improve as instructors to ensure that all students benefit!
