Teacher-only planning companion for Manu Evidence Capture. Use this page to keep the documentation stage purposeful, evidence-led, and connected to what students will later communicate.
This page is for kaiako. Evidence capture is most useful when students know in advance what counts as meaningful proof of learning or action. Otherwise they collect fragments that do not support later explanation.
A mātauranga Māori lens matters because other people’s words and images should be used with care. Students need guidance about permission, attribution, and respectful representation.
Students communicate findings in context and use evidence to support claims about an investigation or action.
The page asks students to record a photo or sketch, one quote, and one data point. That combination supports later reporting with more credibility than opinion-only reflection.
This fit is strongest when students return to the sheet while building a poster or presentation.
Students participate individually and collectively in response to community challenges.
Evidence capture turns action into something the class can account for publicly. It helps students show what was done, not just that they intended to act.
Useful when action day leads to a gallery walk, report-back, or whānau sharing event.
Students use discussion and explanation to decide which evidence best supports a message.
Do not let students collect everything. Help them choose evidence that is relevant, accurate, and respectful to the people involved.
This bridge becomes stronger when evidence selection is discussed explicitly.
