BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Why do identical assignments sometimes receive completely different grades? In this episode of Data Lit, we tackle the inequitable practice of mixing academic data with student compliance by drawing from the latest research in Culturally Responsive Assessment. From unconscious bias to unreliable scales, we explore how individual variation in teacher practices can skew student outcomes. We also learn how applying the five Principles of Equity can transform teachers’ gradebooks into a valid data tool that truly reflects student learning. Our hope is that listeners glean some tidbits that can help move their gradebook away from a record of compliance and toward an accurate reflection of mastery.
