Learning Goals
Students will be able to empathize with school community members by gathering firsthand evidence about cafeteria flow, hallway behavior, advisory activities, or student stress.
Students will be able to distinguish problems from solutions by synthesizing school issue evidence into a clear How Might We statement.
Students will be able to generate multiple ideas for a student advisory board response to a school issue before choosing one to develop.
Students will be able to conduct and document a real user interaction by asking clarifying questions and recording feedback from a youth leader, administrator, or other school stakeholder.
Students will be able to prototype a student advisory board action plan that translates user needs into a testable idea.
Students will be able to revise board recommendations by using feedback forms and weekly reflection slips to strengthen clarity, feasibility, and audience fit.
Students will be able to justify a final student advisory board proposal with evidence from research notes, feedback, and reflection artifacts.
Products
User Research Evidence Portfolio and Individual Board Prototype
Each student submits a portfolio containing annotated station notes, one real user interaction record, and a brief reflection explaining the key school issue they identified. The portfolio also includes a one-page individual prototype for a student advisory board response that can be tested by the team.
Student Advisory Board Action Plan and Change Maker Expo Presentation
Teams produce a shared problem statement, a collaboratively developed higher-fidelity advisory board solution, and a short board-style presentation for families, administrators, and community guests. The final package shows how individual research informed the team’s recommendations and how feedback led to revision.
