How much evidence is enough?  |

Evidence is any and all pieces of information that help you answer your question. The key word is "help." You may not be able to arrive at a definitive answer. And that's fine. The learning will happen on the journey to the answer. With that in mind, gather enough information to be satisfied that you have addressed your question as best you can at this point in time. Your collection of information may or may not include formal, numerical data. It may not be necessary or informative depending on your question. You will have, however, a log of observations, reflections and questions that arose during your journey. They will provide a rich source of information with which to respond to your question. You will find a tool, the Information Collection Worksheet, in the resource section and directions for using it in the activities section. The tool is to help you think more deeply about each source of information you've identified in your one page plan. It may also help you consider the variety of information you need to gather from different sources. Using it should help you determine the worth of a collection of information before you begin gathering it so you don’t waste time collecting evidence that may not be useful. Whether or not you use the tool, now is the time to "just do it." Go out there and begin collecting information. And remember to document what you see and hear as well as questions that arise as you work in your Observation & Reflection Log.
