4P End-in-Mind Planning
Person, Purpose, Process, Product
The 4P framework can be used by teachers to backwards plan purposeful work that results in meaningful evidence of learning.
The 4P framework is best used in an "ends-in-mind" or "backwards planning" way. See more about the Wiggins/McTighe model of backwards design here.
JCPS AICs sorted the Quality Work Characteristics by the 4P framework. This is a synthesis of their sort. For more on Expeditionary Learning's Quality Work Characteristics, see the Quality Work Protocol.

A single point rubric for use when planning for the creation of a product or performance. It is useful for peer feedback, critiquing work, and outlining success criteria. It also enables more directed drafting and revision.
