We just received an EE/TeachScape e-mail from Amy about the difference between evidence and artifacts, as well as some hints:
There is a difference between an artifact and evidence.
- An artifact is something you upload. (Ex: syllabus, data, assessment)
- Recommendation: When naming the artifact, include the year (2014-15) since several year's worth of artifacts will be in the portfolio when they get to the summary year.
- Recommendation 2: In the description, indicate which Danielson components the artifact supports.
- Evidence is a brief statement you type in. (Ex: I attended a math workshop on Oct. 14 that focused on number sense.)
- The advantage of entering evidence is that it can be TAGGED to a particular Danielson component. Therefore, during the summary year when the administrator needs to score each component, anything tagged shows up for consideration when determining the score.
- Recommendation: Because of this, it is recommended that when a teacher uploads an artifact, he/she also enters a brief evidence (something like "Please see syllabus in artifact portfolio") so that the teacher can then TAG which components that artifact supports.
And, a reminder about Jim's recommendation for number of uploaded artifacts:
- Domain 1- 3 artifacts
- Domain 2- 2 artifacts
- Domain 3- 2 artifacts
- Domain 4- 3 artifacts
Our MS open lab will be Wednesday, February 11, 2:45-3:30; if you have any questions please feel free to stop by room 417!
