I liked the interactive assignment ideas

Do not lower requirements, but provide accommodations 

Use words in context and evaluate with short term projects

I need to be always aware of the "temperature" of the group and if I need to mix it up to re-engage them

The more energetic and enthusiastic I am (to a point), the more engaged my students will be

There are many different types of learning challenges, and I should not assume each student will have the same challenges or preferences.

I should be aware of my own language and literacy and not speak or communicate in an exclusive way.

Every student is coming from a different background and we must seek to understand them as best we can to teach them well.

To achieve optimal learning outcomes for each student, we must seek to understand each student, their background, and what may make learning this subject easy or difficult for them.
