Abstract
This study presents the development and implementation of a novel approach to measure enactment of equity-centered teaching practice. The construct of practice for equity is drawn from international syntheses and the details of the scenario-format scale development are emphasized. The result is a 15-item Teaching Equity Enactment Scenario (TEES) Scale that measures a meaningful continuum of levels of teaching practice for equity. The scale also provides a narrative interpretation of participants’ levels of enacting equity-centered practice based on their simple raw scores. The implications for research on teaching and teacher education are discussed.
