The biggest surprise for me is that by implementing equitable practices, I have a larger buy-in with the content from students. They are now willing participants in class and are not just going through the motions.

This process has made me look more closely at what goes in the gradebook: which assignments are in alignment with the standards and which are not. I have a different lens of looking at the work now, it’s not just a means to an end, it’s about whether or not they’re meeting the standard.

Assessment scores are better and students have a better understanding of the material. It’s working! They’re [students] doing much better. It really makes a difference and I am so glad I am doing this work.
