It's interesting, the actual implementation sounds like what I had a couple decades ago in middle and high school. And it sounds exactly like what I had in college. The only thing new is the word "equitable".
e.g straight from the article: "Homework, in-class discussions and other practice work, called formative assessments, are weighted at between 10% and 30%. The bulk of a grade is earned through what are known as summative assessments, such as tests or essays.... extra credit is banned..."
This just sounds like what college-prep schools have been doing for a long time, rebranded. I don't think it puts any students at more of a disadvantage than they already were.
