Teaching and Reflecting with Portfolios

 I have been teaching and reflecting with students on the use of portfolios for learning for several years.

Below is a video explaining how I am working with multiple grade levels to create, update and share student work.

I previously created a presentation https://bit.ly/fssportfoliopresentation that II have used with staff and student to explain the process and the purpose.  

   
*Video update 10/21 with steps / screencastify
* Adding content for parent conferences here

As teachers we are asked to work on SMART Goals setting Professional and Students Goals. There are lots of resources from DESE and resources. They can then use the Portfolios allow for new teaching strategies with the intentional integration of technology and a variety of options for students to showcase and reflect on their learning. Other ideas would be for the students to create SMART goals that connect to their learning and record their portfolio to reflect on their learning.  

I am hoping to add a little structure so teachers can coordinate artifact planning here  https://bit.ly/portfolioartifactplanning   in order to plan for student led conferences and share with other schools in the district.  Here is a link https://sites.google.com/nrsd.net/proudmoments that continues with the RLA Proud Moments from 2020-2021
