• Grading for equity - allowing students the opportunity to retake quizzes, edit papers, and improve their skills and grades. 

• Offering students questions for thought such as: "What might you have done differently that might have changed the outcome?", "Let's brainstorm some other choices you could have made/choices you could make in the future.", "What do you think the impact of your decision/behavior was on the other person(s)?", "How would you have felt if the situation were reversed?", "What do you think you could/should do now?"

• Student choice work and projects - students are offered multiple types of activities in a day and can choose the order in which they complete them or choose one option out of a few to complete. 

• Creating opportunities for students to decide how and when they do certain assignments, or how they organize (e.g. choosing between a graphic organizer, a plain assignment, or an extension assignment)

• Talk through options, make sure they have the right information, and always make sure the students know it's their choice, but that every choice has consequences.

• Demonstrating curiosity/open-mindedness, critical thinking skills useful in/out of school, identifying solutions to personal/social problems

• Create short and long-term goals
