q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Dot-voting results from the workshop, in which the full cohort voted with five stickers per person on group summaries. "Dot voting showed no single dominant category"; three interrelated priorities emerged, paired with superpowers such as knowing where students stall.

"Dot voting showed no single dominant category. Instead, three interrelated priorities aligned with the themes above: motivation and buy-in, removing stu- dent roadblocks, and building resilience under challenge."
