EQuIPD - Engaged Quality Instruction through Professional Development

The EQuIPD Professional Development Model was developed as part of a five-million dollar grant from the United States Department of Education SEED Grant. (2018 -2021) This grant was designed to improve teacher effectiveness for student conceptual development through an enhanced understanding of conceptual modeling pedagogy, system thinking and process mapping, inquiry and use of technology to support student thinking. For more on EQuIPD see: https://equipd.mse.ufl.edu/projects/the-equipd-model/student-learning/

EQuIPD also developed a facilitative coaching model to support teachers and more on that can be found at: https://equipd.mse.ufl.edu/projects/the-equipd-model/coaching-model/

The EQuIPD project was one of the only SEED awardees to achieve the rigorous What Works Clearinghouse metrics for statistical significance for level of change to teacher practice for the grant goals. For more on that see:
