If you’re like many teachers, you may be wondering how to ensure you’re practicing equitable teaching in your own classroom. Who better to help you improve your practice than your fellow teachers?! We asked the Teacher2Teacher community to share your best equitable teaching practices. Read on for five teachers’ responses and share your own tips in the comments section below.

2. “6th grade tryouts/auditions for class musicals/plays decided by majority class vote (double cast).”—@burgan_d
3. “Use choice menus to differentiate for learning and learners! Incorporate Genius Hour into your lessons. Let students craft their learning, and the learning of their peers!—@DaWriterChik
