Ep. 48 Finding the Just Right Challenge: Introducing the Zigzag Equalizer
In this episode, Julie and Kristie introduce the zigzag equalizer, a powerful tool to help educators adjust the level of challenge in real-time for every student. By tuning the "equalizer," teachers can meet diverse learning needs—whether a student is struggling or excelling—by balancing factors like complexity, structure, and group dynamics. With relatable examples (including Goldilocks and DJ metaphors), Julie and Kristie explain how to use this tool to create engaging, individualized learning experiences. Download the handout at inclusiveschooling.com/download48 to see the full equalizer visual with directions on how to use.
