In this episode, I looked at how I used to grade classroom participation through an equity lens.  I noticed that I overvalued students that talked in class, which made it unnecessarily difficult for low socioeconomic students, students with different ways of processing information, and students that do not speak English as a first language to participate during class.  This process made me think about why I value classroom discussion/participation, helped me create a more equitable system of measuring classroom participation and facilitated a classroom design that works towards getting students to participate.
