Past Equity Walk Resources
The resources below were shared last year; feel free to peruse them in preparation for the upcoming Equity Walk this year.
Below are the "Look For's" that visitors will be focusing on. For each Look For, we listed possible examples of how that might look in the classroom.
The activity list below includes resources to help you create how-to sheets, learning centers, anchor charts, and small-group mini-lessons.

Activity List for Faculty Meeting - 1_15_25.pdf
Below are 3 possible structures you can use in the classroom to provide students with multiple ways for students to learn -- Totally 10, 9-Box Grid, and Activity List. They provide differentiated choices to students based on learning style and readiness levels.
Totally 10
This structure is usually used for practice and/or application activities. The goal is for students to attain at least 10 points, and they can choose how they get there. Each activity is leveled with increasing rigor, so students can choose to go straight for the more rigorous and challenging task, or do a collection of smaller ones. See an example below:
Totally 10 - Linear Equations Example
To create your own Totally 10, you can use this template.
9-Box Grid
This structure is mostly used for learning activities. It contains built-in differentiation for both learning styles/modality and readiness levels. Students decide where they are in terms of readiness, and then decide how they want to learn. After completing 1 activity, they can choose to get more practice within the same column, or "level up" to try something a little more challenging. You can tell students that they must complete at least 3 activities. See an example below:
9-Box Grid - Bill of Rights Example
To create your own 9-Box Grid, use this template, which also contains ideas for each of the learning styles. (You will need your building's MyQPortal credentials.)
Activity List
This structure can be used for both learning and practice/application activities, and also contains built-in differentiation for learning styles/modality (see choice activities in the example) and readiness levels (see optional activities). Activity lists can be focused on multiple skills/concepts, and are usually used across longer periods of time, e.g., 2-3 days or a week. See an example below:

To create your own activity list, you can use this template.
Below are some resources that will help support students in rigorous thinking, despite skill gaps they may have. There is also a checklist that you can use as you are planning your lessons to ensure that you are planning with rigor in mind.
