Teacher Practices to Create Inclusive Classrooms

Curated by: Kara Alhadeff

Why: As educators, we need to be intentional about our lesson planning to create a sense of belonging for students. It is essential for all students to be seen, heard, treated fairly, and protected. Therefore, I wanted to share this resource from Better Letter to provide the structure to reflect on your teaching practices. My favorite part about this resource is that it provides strategies to help your students answer all of the reflection questions in the affirmative. 

What: Ever wonder if your classroom is inclusive? This resource lists crucial questions that students should be able to answer in the affirmative. Alongside the questions, the creator of this resource provides strategies that educators can adopt to improve the inclusivity of their classroom. 

How: The table below provides a direct link to the inclusive classroom practices from Better Lesson. Next to the link you will notice the theme, humanizing online learning, that this resource addresses. Next time you are planning a unit, week, or single lesson you can turn to these strategies and embed them throughout.
