Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a pretty standard list of suggestions: create a safe space, scaffold choice, provide opportunity, and encourage connection. It's in the details that a list like this succeeds or fails. To create a safe space, for example, Janet Talor says "create a sense of community in our classrooms." But community is not sufficient; they can be very unsafe. So also, "setting the tone for everyone to respect all artistic voices, including opposing opinions, can really make or break your sense of community. Opinions that include hate, however, cannot be tolerated." Not really deep, but still necessary.
