Episode #3: Crayons or Pencils?

As a teacher, you need to reflect on your lessons and decide if they tend to be built for younger or older students.  As you diversify instruction and assessment, effective teachers also need to balance your mix of "crayon" and "pencil" lessons.  Students are on a spectrum developmentally and academically.  Therefore, if our lessons aren't dynamic on that spectrum as well, we risk losing students in the learning process.
