<p>In Unit 1, we’re going to explore our first mindset in depth: Equity versus Equality. We will look carefully at how we attend to students as individuals as a starting place for exploring educator mindsets and equity teaching practices. </p>
<p>We’re going to launch Unit 1 with our first “practice space”:<em> Jeremy’s Journal</em>. In this digital simulation, you’ll meet Jeremy, follow him and his classmates through a week in his English Language Arts classroom, and decide what strategies to use to support everyone’s learning. At the end of the practice space, you’ll have a tough decision to make about a weekly quiz! Whatever you decide, you’ll get to hear and read from other educators about how they handled the situation. </p>
<p>After <em>Jeremy’s Journal</em>, instructor Rich Milner will share his perspectives on Equity versus Equality, and you’ll hear from instructor Justin Reich about how to bring competing mindsets into a better balance. You’ll hear from educators at Purdue Polytechnic High School about how they address issues of equity, and then we will revisit the tough decisions in <em>Jeremy’s Journal</em> through the lens of our educator mindsets. For a final assignment, you will be invited to make a small shift in your own practice to better support a learner like Jeremy in your own classroom. </p>
<p>Let’s get started! </p>
