    Essentials for Instructional Equity Rubric Elements
    Essential 1
    Safe, Healthy and Welcoming Schools

    Why is this essential?

    Students need to feel safe and supported in order to learn. Without safe, healthy and sustaining learning environments, the mind can struggle to focus on content, making learning nearly impossible (Parrett and Budge 2012; Hammond 2015).

    Essential 2
    Design for Access and Agency

    Why is this essential?

    Learning experiences must be designed to engage the brains of the learners present, tap into their existing schema, and offer opportunities for application and processing...In order for students to develop a sense of agency, they must have access to learning experiences that empower them to make choices, chose pathways and strategies, share ideas, make mistakes, revise their thinking.

    Cognitively Demanding Tasks

    Why is this essential?

    Assess for Learning

    Why is this essential?

    Learning is an ongoing process. Assessing for learning is not about primarily about testing. When an educator assesses for learning he or she gathers information about student thinking and discusses that information with the student in order to make adjustments during the learning cycle (a new question, a deeper discussion, a link to prior learning, etc.) and to provide instructive feedback to students.
