The Portfolio Your questions answered!
Why am I keeping a portfolio? • One of the four requirements in order to earn a high school diploma • Draw a connection between the student’s high school education and the real world • Present to a group of community members • Other students, parents, members of the larger community
There is a tab in my portfolio reads “Quality Work” • Will be given one particular assignment which is identified as a “Quality Work” • Rubric was developed to assure that all students would be graded on the same criteria • Each you must submit at least four pieces of work to your portfolio • Required to have a minimum of four
There is a tab in my portfolio reads “Quality Work” • By the time you graduate you must have at least one QW from: • English or Social Studies Class • Math, Science or Technology Class • Fine Arts, Occupational Education, PE, or World Language Class • Any course of your choosing • If you do not have four quality works to submit each year, you must have at least one QW and three Best Efforts
Tell me more about this Best Effort section! • If you have not met the “four yearly assignment” requirement in the QW section • One of which you are proud and is of significant enough importance to be added to the portfolio • Write a brief reflection about why you feel that this is your Best Effort
What goes in the tab labeled “Future Goals, etc…” • Each year you will complete a “Career Planning Checklist” • Each year, when you complete the form it should be put in your portfolio • Also where you will keep your completed notes form College and Career Fair, write-ups of any job shadows or internships
What goes in the section labeled “Benchmark Proficiencies” • Copy of your WASL scores • You will put in a copy of your scores
“Education and Advanced Training” • Copy of your latest transcript • Put evidence of other classes you have taken outside of school • Vocational training program, Dances, Acting, Karate, Religious education, CPR training, Food Service handlers licenses
“Personal and Individual Achievement” • Put all of the stuff that you are proud of • This is also the place where you can put class work which is neither QW or BE
What if I don’t have any of this stuff? • Start getting involved in some activities • Write a reflection about the things that you have done that have given you a sense of accomplishment • Reflection should be put in the portfolio
“Leadership and Work Experience” • Growing list of activities in which you have taken a leadership position and jobs that you have held • Good to get letters of recommendations from employers and statements of support from the adult leaders of organizations
What is left to put in School and Community Service? • All about service • You will document the ways in which you have made this a better school, a better community, a better world
