Rank the nine priorities

Rank 1 represents the consideration that should exert the greatest influence on your design decisions. Use each priority once. There is no single correct ranking.

Your Diamond 9

Your selections appear automatically in the traditional 1–2–3–2–1 pattern. Look at the shape as a whole, not only the individual positions.

Read the pattern: What does the top suggest you are trying to protect? What did you knowingly place lower even though it still matters? Where do you see the strongest tension?

What did you place first, and why does it deserve the greatest influence?

What did you knowingly place lower, and what tension did that create?

Where does your current Gradebook reflect this ranking? Where might it tell a different story?

What question about grading, assessment, or evidence is worth revisiting?
