Portfolios can be used as an authentic assessment tool in the classroom,
or as a method to showcase your professional accomplishments. This
collection of articles and resources will help your students build
portfolios to demonstrate what they've learned so that you can monitor
their progress with fewer tests. There are also resources for
collecting your professional accomplishments to provide potential
employers with an example of your work.
Student portfolios are a way to monitor student progress and show growth
over a period of time while maintaining documentation for what students
are learning. Creating a portfolio enables parents to see their
children's work quickly during parent conferences and the Laurent Clerc
National Deaf Education Center states "through the portfolio process,
students develop the self-awareness, goal-setting, and decision-making
skills essential for lifelong self-determination."
Instructions
- Get a binder and dividers. Put the
dividers in the binder and use them to separate the different areas within the
portfolio.
- Determine how many sections the
portfolio will contain. Decide if the portfolio will have a section for each
subject area or a few subject areas. PreKinders also suggests things such as
"photographs, art and stories."
- Label the areas of the portfolio.
Use the divider labels to write the different name of the subject areas then
insert the labels into the part of the divider that holds the labels.
- Insert student work in the
appropriate section. For example, if it's a writing sample, insert it in the
writing section of the portfolio. Punch holes in the work sample if the paper
doesn't already have holes in it or to avoid punching holes in the work sample,
put the work in clear sheet protectors and then insert the work into the
portfolio.
