[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses. I’m trying to dig deeper on what equitable outcomes means since it’s part of what I will be evaluated on, it sounds like. If it doesn’t mean equal outcomes, then what does it mean in terms of learning outcomes, scores, grades, etc. ?[/quote]

None of this was covered in your Ed classes?

I find that really odd. I did alt cert and recall a seminar on Teaching for Equitable Outcomes. Basically, if you are teaching in a way that I can predict girls being more successful on your tests than boys or some other group consistently unde performing, we need to look at how you can teach differently. It is not about everyone having the same scores. But you do need to differentiate in instruction and sometimes in process and product in order to reach every kid. Every student should show growth. Even kids who are ELLs or have special needs. Otherwise what are they getting out of your class? Sometimes all I need to do is to offer readings at two levels and make sure to offer both levels so that kids can stretch themselves. Or chunking a project so that at least 75% of it gets done in school rather than 0% at home where no parent is available.[/quote]
