Earn the "Creating Mastery 🎨: Students as Designers of Learning" badge by demonstrating your ability to foster creativity and innovation in your classroom. This badge recognizes educators who empower students to design, build, and produce original work that shows deep understanding. From multimedia projects to real-world problem solving, you’ll guide students as they transform ideas into meaningful creations that showcase their learning.
To earn this badge, you must submit evidence(student examples, photos, lesson plans, etc.) of completing one Creating Mastery task in your campus Game On Course (find your link below):Â
Directions: With only 14 instructional days this month, we're only asking for one meaningful piece of evidence that reflects authentic student creation. Aim for depth and creativity — something that goes beyond a simple short-answer response to truly showcase student learning.
Submit evidence of assignments or student exemplars for a creation task before the end of November. Choose from the non-exhaustive list of tools below, or submit your own tool. Remember the main focus is student creation to showcase learning, so digital tools that encourage creation are great!
