	Description:		https://amandawritenow.com/rethinking-reading-assessment-with-equity-in-mind/ I wrote this six part equity series to better understand the inequities surrounding the ways in which we teach and assess reading and writing skills in the United States. I wanted to know more. Not only that, I wanted to find practical solutions for the problems all teachers (not just English teachers) face, such as: A lack of understanding about how to teach reading and writing effectively and with equity in mind The immense challenge of helping 30+ students with many differing needs Students receiving low grades and over again on assessments, throughout the entire school year Systemic racism and how it all plays out within our educational institutions After writing the six parts in this series (they are all linked below), I’ve discovered that these topics are fraught with a lot of controversy and many historically significant events that have had massive ripple effects. My hope is that by synthesizing all the information, I can help busy teachers make informed decisions in their classrooms when it comes to choosing the most impactful and equitable ways to teach.
