Discuss how you will prove your knowledge of students. • Option B: Identify the standard that your group members identified as “rarely or never” doing the main ideas Brainstorm big picture solutions.

  11. BREAK!

  12. Getting Started. . . In Part I: General Portfolio Instructions, read the sections entitled “Understanding Your Portfolio Entries” and “Following Policies and Guidelines (pages 1-11 to 1-15). Using post-it notes and/or highlighters, identify critical information you need to remember as you go through the process. Develop a “to do” list.

  14. Breaking Down the Entries • Working with a partner, complete the Breaking Down the Entry form –Use the printed resources you brought today to complete the sheet. • There are more places to reference than just the portfolio instructions. • Take 15 minutes.

Use all of the resources we just mentioned  Personalize and make it meaningful. Entry Prompt Sheet: Phrase questions for your readers After completing these two forms for each entry you should be able to confidently summarize what you are required to do. These documents are your “Cheat Sheet/Detailed Summary” that are intended to guide you for the next three months. Time devoted to completed these forms, is time well spent. Internalize these like you should internalize your standards.
