Entrepreneurial Mindset
Goal: Entrepreneurial mindset is shared explicitly throughout the card content in a way that connects to and builds upon the KEEN Framework.
High Ranking:
- Entrepreneurial mindset is explicitly integrated in the card description and in supporting materials.
- Appropriate 3C's are selected and elaborated upon in the Mindset section of the card (expandable fields), or it is otherwise clear why they are related to other educational objectives, the assignments, and the assessments.
- It is clear how the 3C's are implemented (i.e. included in rubrics, student artifacts, clear learning outcomes, links to expanded KEEN Student Outcomes, etc.).
Medium Ranking:
- Entrepreneurial mindset is mentioned and somewhat integrated in the card description and supporting materials.
- Appropriate 3C's are selected and elaborated upon in the Mindset section of the card (expandable fields) or in other sections of the card, but it is unclear how these are related to other educational objectives, the assignments, and the assessments.
Low Ranking:
- Entrepreneurial mindset is mentioned but not highly integrated.
- 3C's are selected but it is not clear why they have been selected or how they have been deployed.
- Entrepreneurial mindset is explained in fields, but appropriate 3C's have not been selected.
- Files and artifacts do not reinforce or showcase entrepreneurial mindset.
