EDUT 5268 Data Equity Approach in Schools
Using the Data Equity Approach in Schools
As educators, we spend a lot of time collecting data–even data that we don’t realize we are collecting! From homework grades to class surveys about our students’ favorite books, from attendance charts to unit reflections, we are gathering multiple types of information from our students all the time. But what do we do with it? And how do we ask critical questions about it to enact equitable practices in our classroom when we don’t even know what we are collecting, and why? In this course, you will learn about the Data Equity approach as a way to benefit student growth and learning, while also learning how to identify your own bias when analyzing data. Then, you will explore and interact with a variety of resources and tools to help you categorize, collect, and analyze data. By the end of this course, you will be able to utilize the Data Equity approach to implement change at your school site!
