The Playbook is back with more tactical, practical tools to use in your practice. Today McKenzie Lueders, the teacher education instructor from Blue Valley CAPS, tells us about the day one activity that helps her observe and better understand her students without putting them in the hot seat. She calls this project "Portrait Representation."

We love this project because it can be adapted to be as personal, professional or career oriented as you want! Start with it or use it in the middle of the semester to see how your students have grown.

The CAPS Playbook is the tactical, practical podcast for all practitioners of the CAPS Model. The CAPS Network is a 501(c)3 supporting over 90 programs, in 23 states and 4 countries. CAPS reimagines education to be a learner centered, profession based experience that catapults young people into passion and purpose. CAPS is going where students lead.
