  • Event #1 (Noon – 1 p.m.)
    Operationalizing Equity: Strategies for Effective Pedagogy

    This talk focuses on the use of data to support equitable teaching. I discuss my development of the EQUIP observation tool, as well as professional development work with mathematics faculty. Out of this work, I share practical strategies that college instructors can use to promote an equitable and engaging classroom environment. I also discuss a learning process that faculty members can engage in to help them better uptake the strategies in an effective way. I draw heavily from my new book, Equitable and Engaging Mathematics Teaching: A Guide to Disrupting Hierarchies in the Classroom, which is freely available as an e-book or for purchase as a print copy.

  • Event #2 (1:10 – 2:15 p.m.)
    How do we know if our classroom is equitable?: An introduction to the EQUIP tool.

    This session provides a deep dive into the free, open source, and fully customizable EQUIP observation tool that was designed to capture aspects of equity in classroom participation. Participants will be introduced to the tool, walked through the process of creating an account and exploring the app, and will receive practical guidance on coding so they can use EQUIP in their own contexts.
