Text Sets- Materials that represent several genres that differ in difficulty
Tiered Activities- Activities that have alternative ways of reaching the same goal. These activities are meant to challenge all types of students.
Inquiry Chart - Teacher asks students questions and they record their findings in a blank I-chart from different sources
Guided Reading Groups- Small group instruction used to develop reading skills.
Literacy Centers- Practice phonics, vocabulary, word cards
Begin with the end in mind
Provide independent and guided instruction
Multimodal learning: Use different modes to support all learners.

Personal Connection to Mindfulness: I've seen this in a second grade classroom, she called it flow and it was a rabbit that did guided breathing
Diversity
Understand your own bias - and then teach and practice empathy
English Language Learners Support: Use Vocab walls for words that would be new for the ELL.
You could also use a bilingual unit for vocabulary words that would be useful in both languages
Understand students experiences and perspectives and incorporate that into lessons
Read books that reflect the students' cultures!
Set expectations related to values and cultures of the students and families
