Instructional Importance
In the contemporary world, the crowds of students in a wide range of instructive organizations, going from kindergartens to colleges, will in general turn out to be increasingly different. On account of the contrasts between different students, it turns out to be progressively insufficient to use similar informative strategies for every one of the understudies. Hence, a need emerges to utilize informative strategies and procedures which would be either adaptable enough to suit all understudies or would consider adjusting guidance to individual students. In the wake of talking about Differentiated Instruction and the Universal Design of Learning independently, the paper looks at the two methods to discover which similitudes and contrasts these two methodologies have.

Our Collective Lesson Plan (On Teachers of Color in This Moment)
This is how it was supposed to be after last summer. Conservatives have launched an aggressive assault on their rendering of critical race theory through state and local legislation in the recent weeks. There's the actual critical race theory was developed in 1970 with two pillars. They claim that white supremacy is embedded directly into our country’s laws, and that we can and must change the relationship between laws & racial hierarchies. Many in the media have noticed that the low-hanging fruit is that it is part of a multi-pronged attack on the Biden administration, and those who voted him in. None of the criticisms made about President Biden have had an effect on his approval ratings. Nor does his messaging. Evidence also suggests that the country's temporary support of the Black Lives Matter movement's goals has led to higher voter registration. This is a clear indicator that a party that views more voter participation as a problem will be more successful.

Bob Moses And The Enduring Education Injustice
Bob Moses was too excited to meet me when I met him for the first time. His book Radical Equations: Civil Rights From Mississippi to the Algebra project has dominated my pedagogical imagination for many years. It had influenced everything from how I taught integers to equations to slopes and equations. I had the honor of meeting Black liberation and civil rights activists like Angela Davis, Bobby Seale and Felipe Luciano. I also received tutelage from educational giants such as Linda Darling-Hammond and Karen Lewis. One man, among a few, sat at intersection of education and civil rights. Friends and acquaintances from all walks of life would tell me stories about him, encouraging my to search for him whenever I had the chance.

Innovation: From Buzzword To Mindset
Innovation is, in my opinion, one of the most important goals for education today more than ever. Innovation is a must for students, teachers, and schools. This is something I strongly believe in and strive to promote as a Google for Education Certified Innovation Innovator. Unfortunately, innovation is often misunderstood and misused in the profession. It is also a buzzword that is often ignored. What is innovation? What does innovation mean? It is important.

Remote Learning 2.0
In May, schools in Hong Kong were allowed to reopen. You can read my experience. Before the year ended, we enjoyed a few weeks in relative normality. After a local summer surge, we were able to get back online in time for the start this academic year. The situation was managed well, and we are already planning to reopen in a more gradual manner, beginning next week. But I thought it might be helpful to share the reasons and how we developed our remote learning routines and practices.

Black Math Teachers Are Good For More Than Race Stuff
Some of us have found a way to share our stories without apologizing through the #Blackout era. White educators need to be more aware of their complicity in the recent murders of George Floyd and Ahmaud Abery by police. Instead of a quick "I told you so", I am choosing to engage with this new group of subscribers with a huge feeling of responsibility and awareness, while still holding firm to my identity as well as all the anchors that kept this boat stable despite the current at its port.

What Is Design Thinking
Recently, I've become interested in design thinking in education. It is a great framework that I believe adds enormous value to learning and teaching. It is associated with empathy, agency creativity, problem-solving, cooperation, grit, and creativity. These skills and dispositions are more valuable than ever for both educators and employers. Design thinking is a powerful tool in our teaching toolkit that can enhance classroom experiences and foster deeper learning.
