Learning Goals
Students will be able to investigate the history of school dress codes and identify how rules, language, and enforcement have changed over time to explain patterns of inclusion and control.
Students will be able to analyze survey charts and school data about dress code confusion or concerns to determine which expectations incoming sixth graders need most.
Students will be able to synthesize student and adult feedback into a clear How Might We problem statement that distinguishes the problem from possible solutions.
Students will be able to prototype multiple inclusive dress code campaign messages and visuals for incoming sixth graders that communicate expectations clearly and respectfully.
Students will be able to test, refine, and justify campaign choices using peer critique, user testing, and revision logs to improve clarity, accuracy, and welcoming tone.
Products
Dress Code User Research Portfolio and Campaign Prototype
Each student creates a research portfolio that includes evidence from at least one real user interaction, annotated source notes, and a graph or data interpretation of student concerns. The portfolio also includes one individual prototype that turns the evidence into a testable campaign idea for incoming sixth graders.
New Look Launch Campaign Kit and Hallway Exhibition
Teams produce a shared How Might We statement and a higher-fidelity campaign kit for the New Look Launch, including posters, welcome packet materials, and QR-linked audio or video messages. The final product is designed for authentic presentation and feedback from school leaders, fifth graders, and families.
