Artifacts of Learning

Teachers can submit up to 8 artifacts of learning.  All artifacts must be submitted by April 11th.  You must submit a minimum of 1 artifact.  The artifacts are only evaluated on Domains 1 & 4.  In Learning Cultures specific artifacts are things like CUR and Conference records, standards checklists, etc.  In addition to any of these, you may choose any thing you choose.  Below is a list of examples.  If you want to include something not on the list, you are free to do so.  You just want to submit enough items such that each indicator can be evaluated at least once.


The artifacts comprise 5% of the overall rating from Domains 1 & 4.  At the end of the year summative meeting where we go over your final rating for the year, you'll get to see all the rating for each of the artifacts.  At UAI, we're aiming to begin end-of-year summative conferences in May and finish all year-end conferences by June.

More details are available in the Teacher Evaluation FAQ.  April 7th is our next staff PD day.  Please enter any questions or concerns you have in the comments section below so that we can be sure to address them on the 7th.

  2. Hi Kiri- do we need to submit explanations of each artifact or will the documents alone suffice?

    1. As long as it's clear what the artifact is (e.g. unit arc, conference record, CUR record, etc.) you don't need to have comments. If you're submitting something else that needs clarification (or illustration) then just a BRIEF blurb to situate the document is needed.
