This session introduces adaptive equity-oriented pedagogy (AEP). AEP adapts evidence-based practices (e.g., grading for equity, AI, formative assessments, UDL) to address barriers to student learning. Research studies show that, compared to active learning courses, instructors applying AEP increase average achievement by over a letter grade for all students. AEP also supports positive psychosocial outcomes (e.g., motivation, sense of self-efficacy, sense of community) across disciplines and college contexts. This session highlights strategies that instructors have used to adjust teaching, address equity barriers to learning, and increase achievement in over a dozen courses. It also shares findings on how AEP-Al supported greater student engagement and success across college courses.
