How do you decide which examples of decolonization movements to focus on in your lessons? My school is extremely diverse and I want all students to feel represented. OER has a plethora of case studies and primary resources. Would you give options or look at as many as you can?

That is a tough question. I actually go rogue on Decolonization, and a bit outside of OER, but I think the principle still might address your question.
I feel like there are two approaches you can take with decolonization, wide or deep. There are lots of overlaps in decolonization, so both approaches have their merits.
I generally choose a movement that I am familiar with (I spend a lot of time on India's decolonization and partition) and talk about trends that match other movements, and sometimes have students look at other movements for similarities and differences. If you don't want to go for depth in one, you can certainly compare and look at similarities and differences, but I find students get a bit more invested in one detailed case study than a gloss over.
Those are just my thoughts. Hopefully others have other ideas!
