Step 1: Choose a Meaningful Partnership
Teachers pick a partnership (student:student, class:school, class:community, etc.) that has made a big impact on their class during the 2023-2024 school year. This partnership should be one between members of the class or school.
Students and teachers work together to review the evaluation criteria and decide what to highlight in a short video.
