The teacher dashboards shows student responses in color-coded data sets.

The initial data set is based on PASS survey results. The PASS survey indicates student attitudes to school, work ethic and their ability to be a self directed learner. This data plays an essential role in speeding the time taken for teachers to understand and better plan for successful team building and class management.

The PASS survey reveals existing dispositions. They are used to inform possible attitudes towards engagement. Because the scores are determined by a series of questions on the test, it is not expected that the PASS score would change dramatically over the course of Project X.

Dashboard 2.0

The Dashboard includes the following features:

Inquiry Question - teachers are responsible for adding and updating the inquiry question chosen by each team. Updating the question will track how the question evolved over the course of Project X.

Notes - teachers should record critical moments of conversation, progress or frustration for each group. The timestamped comments will assist in telling the story of learning engagement for each group.

What are checkpoints?

Checkpoints are opportunities for teachers to touch base with all student in their learning space. The survey includes questions that relate to content knowledge (e.g. design cycle process), attitudes to learning, cooperation of the team, resources and project management and team dynamics.

Checkpoints are scheduled frequently so that issues can be identified as they arise and responded to swiftly.

All students must complete the checkpoints each day at the required time. This gives enough time for the student data to be scanned and, if necessary, a timely response initiated by the classroom leader, world leader and/or other interested supervisors and mentors.

Checkpoint data is an opportunity for classroom leaders and supervisors to gauge how students are feeling about their group progress each day. The checkpoint involves monitoring each student's understanding of what is required of them and what they need to do next, their resource and project management, their perception of the group dynamic and a general comment that reflects how they are feeling right now.

Checkpoints aid teachers in responding to student needs for specific assistance and helps them to determine if an issue is widespread (e.g. a group of students are unsure of the next step in their project) or individual (e.g. one student is having a personality clash with another group member).

This year we will include questions that will help scaffold an understanding of content.
