purposefully avoidstreating minority gender identities as an afterthought13,25. The ability to select as many labels asappropriate prevents situations in which a respondent might have to choose between “Male” and“Transgender Male,” a situation that can be alienating. Our approach also balances length withinclusion13. In this configuration, a woman who identifies with her biological sex would be ableto select both “female” and “cisgender” to describe herself. If an individual’s gender identity didnot fall into the categories listed in the survey, they were prompted to write in their specificidentity next to “a gender not listed.” The phrasing of this item was crafted to treat write-inresponse as equally valid as the other options provided13.We defined

While there aremany types of accommodations that can help an LD student, one common characteristic most allLD students have is that they require more time to assimilate any newly presented material. Thiscan present a problem if the active learning activity is immediately following the lecture. Forexample, the minute paper activity requires the student to write on the topic just covered for oneminute. Then present or otherwise submit the writing perhaps for a grade. A learning disabledstudent may not be able to acquire sufficient knowledge from the lecture part, in the time given,to be in a position to write such a piece. Furthermore, the process of writing itself may presentadditional problems as many types of learning disabilities

In college, students maytake a writing intensive course in which they research a course topic or case study2 and presenttheir findings as an oral story to their peers. They learn by teaching others through stories.There are many different methods of faculty storytelling in the classroom. A teacher may relay astory they have read or heard to emphasize a point, encourage students to tell their ownexperiences that relate to a lecture subject, create a hypothetical story to encourage deeperthinking of a concept or share
