Students are individuals.  Therefore, they may have different learning styles.  I plan to use this knowledge to prepare to plan for all students to succeed.  I will foster a positive, unassuming, and inclusive environment.  

I have learned that students may be learning multiple languages.  English may be their second language, but that does not mean they will not be successful.  I will use this knowledge to avoid assumptions about the linguistic capacity of non-primary English-speaking students. 

I have learned that students should be addressed bias-free and without assumptions.  Having assumptions may negatively impact the student's education.  I plan to use this information in the classroom, creating an inclusive environment for all students.  

I have learned that all students should be treated as individuals, and not as a group.  I will apply this knowledge in the classroom setting, making sure that I know every student by know, and get to know them as an individual.
