Title: Fostering Equitable Teaching Practices through a Simulated Teaching Environment
This paper focuses on research based on educators’ use of a simulated teaching environment and its relationship to changes in indices associated with equitable teaching practices. Data from 39 educators who spent an average of 4 hours and 39 minutes completing 15 sessions in three modules providing feedback on each session in a simulated teaching environment are included. Results indicated that there were significant and educationally meaningful positive changes in measured indices related to equitable teaching practices following experience teaching in the simSchool simulator.  more » « less

    This paper focuses on educators’ use of a simulated teaching environment and its relationship to changes in indices associated with equitable teaching practices. Pre-post survey data were gathered from 39 educators who spent an average of 4 hours and 45 minutes completing 17 sessions in four modules in an online simulated teaching program. Participants were provided with feedback following each session with the intention of improving their performance in subsequent sessions. Results indicated that there were significant and educationally meaningful positive changes in measured indices related to equitable teaching practices following online simulated teaching experiences.

    To address the diversity of student differences, educators need to actively recognize and counter patterns of bias in their teaching practices as well as in their classroom environments. This paper presents a tool for educators that is scalable for developing equitable, culturally responsive teaching practices through implementation in a simulated teaching environment.

    Bias reduction in teaching practices is a key foundation for enabling future leaders of society to achieve their highest innate and positively nurtured potential. The COVID-19 Pandemic has highlighted disparities in learning and emphasized the importance of socio-emotional stability for the long-term well-being of students and teachers. This paper presents a tool for educators that is scalable for developing equitable, culturally responsive teaching practices through implementation in a simulated teaching environment that is adaptive, interactive and augmented. Research questions to be studied during a three-year project recently funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation are described and baseline statistics gathered from pretest surveys among the first year teacher participants are presented.
