Combine individually retrieved fragments into a shared connected model. Knowledge Quilt is selected when its reasoning mechanism matches an accepted learning requirement and produces evidence a teacher can inspect.

01How the architecture unfolds

  1. Define the learning target and evidence.
  2. Run the Knowledge Quilt routine with one bounded case.
  3. Capture evidence and identify the next teaching move.

02The work on each side

Teacher moves

  • State the reasoning purpose
  • Monitor one diagnostic feature
  • Respond to the evidence

Student moves

  • Retrieve
  • Apply
  • Explain

03What would count as learning?

  • Students produce an observable response linked to the target

04Across the curriculum

History

Evidence and judgment

Use Knowledge Quilt to make a historical reasoning move visible.

Science

Explanation and application

Use Knowledge Quilt to expose how students select and apply a scientific model.
