Project Matrix: (You can create your own or use the template below.)
| Project’s Goals Determine 2-3 goals that support the attainment of the project. | Alignment to PDE Core (C) & Corollary (CL) Standards See syllabus & use letter-number coding | Key Tasks Identify the main tasks to be completed related to each goal—similar to a “to do” list. There can be more than one task per goal. | Evidence See Field Experience Project Requirements E1-5. Select one category and determine the specific evidence that you will likely turn in to document achievement of the project’s goals—some evidence may address all the goals so just enter it one time. Some examples of evidence: meeting agendas and minutes, presentations, curriculum documents, handbooks, data analysis and evaluations (with all identifying information removed), planning documents, etc. The log is one piece of evidence that can be noted below. |
