I have been teaching mostly honor science classes and have relished giving the students project and problem based assessments which are laborious to grade but marvelous to see activated. This past year I was given 2 basic science classes and found a brand new puzzle to solve. These classes were heterogeneous in nature and I was thrilled when I found new pathways to reach them. After hearing Susan’s story, I feel blessed to work in an environment where loads of resources are available to access students’ best level. There were students in my class with significant cognitive delays who demonstrated an amazing level of content understanding when given the opportunity to explain in their own way. I fell in love with these classes that challenged me each day to REACH their minds.
