ARTIFACTS: not simply part of a large portfolio, but that which communicates about teacher or student work.
ARTIFACTS: will be planned and collected in digital or hard-copy format determined as part of local TESS work.
ARTIFACTS: speak positively or negatively about on-stage or off-stage work. Plan for using artifacts. Question their purpose and the results of their use.
