Training Overview

Are your teacher observations biased? Learn how to conduct equitable observations.

Before you complete teacher observations for this school year, you must ensure your process and practices are fair and equitable.

Significant bias has contributed to lower classroom observation scores for thousands of teachers in the U.S. over the last decade. Even when controlling for differences in professional qualifications and student testing performance, male and African American teachers were rated lower than their female and white colleagues.
