Four ways to include religiously unaffiliated students in classroom content about religion.

A couple of years ago a student approached me after history class. Avoiding eye contact, he trembled a bit before speaking. His voice was shaking. “I am sorry, teacher,” Armando began. “I could not finish my project. My parents were killed a couple days ago.”

During my first year as a second-grade teacher, I struggled with classroom management. I am a soft-spoken person by nature and habit.
