For my goal 7b: “Pursues knowledge and educational experience beyond the classroom.” – (20%) -” So far, this semester I have demonstrated my advancement with the following artifacts:
https://web.descript.com/26736c98-f181-465f-bc6b-f71b6b13f2f7/91bb2 (20%)
This is a full transcription of the 4 interviews I’ve conducted over the length of this semester. Each one describes me engaging in educational discourse outside of the classroom setting with those I choose interview. I believe each individual interview is worth 5% each therefore the whole of the assignment is worth 20% of this goal.

Artifact 1 (5%)
Artifact 2 (5%)
Data Collection ‘Process Description’ Assignment pt.1 Research Team (Fall 2025).docx
This first part of a multi-step assignment with the common title ‘Process Description’ details my initial goal and the reason behind why. It then goes on to describe the first attempt at implementing said plans into civic engagement.
Artifact 3 (5%)
This Second part of my multi-step assignment titled “Preliminary Analysis” is the description of the information derived from the first set of interviews. I believe this can help me in future civic engagement as it has proved to provide useful foreknowledge on why students might regard water conservation as important and the similar trends of lack of ongoing education throughout higher grade levels. This will help me facilitate an environment of understanding by connecting with future interviewees who may have had similar experiences to the ones I’ve talked to in the past.
