Description¶

The collect step names three artifact types. Students collect "specific and sequential artifacts across a single learning objective" such as a pre-assessment, formative checkpoint, or summative assignment to capture growth over time; artifacts that highlight what they are doing well, shared and celebrated with peers; and artifacts showing mistakes made and fixed or containing actionable teacher feedback, giving students "a practical archive to use as a scaffold for future work."

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Sequential artifacts across a single learning objective
• Peer sharing and celebration opportunities

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• K-12 students

Target Learning Goals¶

• Documenting growth over time
• Learning from mistakes and feedback

Related Strategies¶

• Identify 2-3 intentional pause points for collecting and reflecting on artifacts
• Scaffold self-evaluation against rubrics, forms, and checklists
• Vary reflection timing between in-the-moment and future-focused reflections
• Portfolio Development
