We then leverage evidence-based rubrics to observe leadership and instructional practices while collecting artifacts to provide evidence of effective digital learning and innovative professional practice. During this reflective process, it is expected that school leadership teams collect and document aligned evidence for each item.
Getting into classrooms both formally and informally can provide a much-needed critical lens to support professional practice while also building powerful relationships in the process. Owning what you see doesn’t just have to come from being physically present to make observations.
Rubrics are then leveraged to observe leadership and instructional practices while collecting artifacts to provide evidence of efficacy-based innovative practices.

I live for these histories because they are grounded in formal and informal learning communities, whether in schools, public workshops or even my family home where I first saw the value of Black history. We discussed how they felt about Rivera’s racist statements and how Rivera’s opinions have informed White-centered histories.
The data I received provided good baseline information. For my original lesson on “Why do we study history?” I provided students with a graphic organizer, and they had to select artifacts or sources from their backpacks, write down observations, make inferences, and ask questions.
When will this PD end so I can get back to lessonplanning and grading student work?” Building a rigorous curriculum informed by student voice is paramount. With instant access to a coach, as well as tools to share, store and examine student artifacts of learning, teachers in your district can be more supported than ever.

As students physically create artifacts, they visibly represent their thinking, understanding, and skills.
There are both psychological and physiological reasons why hands-on learning is so effective at information retention.
