Process Board Checklist
A well constructed Process Board tells the story of student learning from beginning to end. From the teachers' perspective, it can be a "Brag" board so they can brag about all the tasks and lessons they created to support rigorous student learning.
Students can be involved in the creation of these boards. Building one can be part of their reflection following a project. ASK: "What did you learn and how did you learn it?"
