Measurable Outcome(s)

While student exposure to these videos will provide valuable, measurable outcomes, this phase involving teacher consultation has already proven signi?cant in its impact on the entire project. This teacher feedback allowed us to re-imagine the videos in a way that will make them more watchable, more dynamic and, ultimately, more impactful to students throughout the state. This level of collaboration has surpassed our initial expectations in terms of creating a collection of videos that can best serve the teachers and their students.
