This innovative assessment tool has students engage in metacognitive reflection by assembling and presenting evidence of their learning.


Essays, PowerPoint presentations, multiple-choice tests: Educators and students know all of the traditional summative learning assessments. While familiar assessments can be a good thing, at the end of the last school year our students were experiencing assessment fatigue.

To combat this, my co-teacher at The Possible Zone and I tried something relatively new: a documentation panel. The Possible Zone is an entrepreneurship and work-based learning program for 10th through 12th graders in Boston, with a mission to advance economic equity. Over Boston Public Schools’ spring break in April 2022, we taught a mini research boot camp, during which students learned about and conducted social science research.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
