Connecting Classroom Inequities to Student Performance: EQUIP, a Tool for All? with Daniel Reinholz

Teaching for Student Success

As researchers study the success of students in active classrooms, they expose new questions to ask, they generate new data to analyze. These data put classrooms implementing active learning practices under the microscope. In looking closely at the details of implementation, researchers are now uncovering evidence of practices resulting in inequities, in some and perhaps most active learning environments. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Daniel Reinholz about his classroom observational analytical tool, EQUIP, and discuss how Daniel and his co-authors have used this tool to identify inequities in classrooms, inequities that may underlie differences in student performance. Fixing these inequities may not be hard, but one has to identify the problem first. EQUIP may be one tool we all need.
