Description¶

To support teachers reviewing vulnerable data about their own practice, researchers deliberately emailed data reports before debriefing conversations, giving teachers time to process results. Discussion protocols guided conversations to highlight successes and areas for improvement, and debriefs focused on future brainstorming of teaching changes to bring hope and optimism rather than dwelling on shortcomings.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Time between data delivery and discussion
• A discussion protocol for the debrief conversation

Constraints¶

• Recording lessons may feel disruptive to some teachers and students, and video may not capture every interaction

Target Learners¶

• teachers and instructors reviewing their own EQUIP data

Target Learning Goals¶

• productive data sense-making and instructional improvement

Related Strategies¶

• Use EQUIP data to take action: test new strategies, collect data again, and align professional development to surfaced needs
• Weigh live, video, and customized nonverbal data collection methods when using EQUIP
