Capstone Leaders love Unrulr

Upper School Multi-Year Capstone

The access to this information is a total godsend— it really gives us a sense of, “are we doing the work or not?”

Mike Peller
Founding Head of Upper School, Hillbrook School

8th Grade Year-Long Capstone

Unrulr is the best investment we have made as a Center and a school. Embedding documentation and authentic reflection in a student's learning journey is not easy. I feel so lucky to have witnessed the transformative role Unrulr plays in our day-to-day education.

Founding Director, Scott Center for Social Entrepreneurship

Higher Ed Semester-Long Projects

Unrulr has accelerated and strengthened the way students build the mindset and the behaviors that are required for them to be successful in the real world. Unrulr breaks this mold of focusing on product-oriented artifacts or outcomes and really shifts that to a process mindset.

Unrulr is a way to capture learning more authentically. At Cañon City, it’s all about the process of learning, rather than the end product.

Checklist for success with Unrulr for Capstone

I know what competencies, skills, or values I want to track.

What are the core values of the organization?  What about the program or class?  What are your learners already familiar with?

You can also choose from some of our standard sets, like Wellness, Habits of Mind, or the 5 C's.

Check out our guide to developing your own COGS here.

I know what kinds of things I want students to document.

Check out our Documentation Field Guide for advice on what to ask your students to document.

Tip: look at pages 9 & 13 for some great prompts!

My students feel comfortable sharing their learning with teachers and/or peers.

Start building a culture of documentation in your learning community. Here is a quick video to get you started.
