How will you know if your school has been successful? Think of this as a vision board for your school/organization that shares the past, the present, and where you hope to be. There can only be 5 artifacts included on this vision board. The artifacts should best describe the vision you have for your school/organization five years from now. Each artifact may include a 100 word maximum description. The intention is not to create new work products, but to use existing content, such as photos, social media posts, personal statement, blog post, or maybe a presentation. All artifacts should fit on one page (8.5X11) and be saved as a pdf document to be uploaded.
