This tool will help administrators, instructional coaches, and teachers analyze a wide variety of data for evidence of unconscious bias. I have used it to analyze interactions between teachers and students to determine if teachers' unconscious bias led to adverse impacts for students of color or those in other marginalized groups. I am happy to work with you to change this spreadsheet a bit if you buy this and it doesn't quite meet your needs.
Use this quiz as a formative assessment to help you understand if your kids know what they need to know about solving one and two step equations.
