  1. Your Portfolio This PowerPoint presentation is linked to my web-site. There is also a Portfolio marking Rubric on the site.

  2. WHAT IS A PORTFOLIO? Port – to move Folio – papers or artifacts • A Personal and Career Portfolio is an organized collection of evidence that shows your accomplishments both in and out of school. • A portfolio contains samples of your work that exhibit and reveal the quality and variety of your learning, your accomplishments, your skills, and your experiences.

  3. Is a portfolio the same as a résumé? • A résumé is usually only 1 – 3 pages in length and is meant to summarize your accomplishments. • A portfolio most often contains many pages and is meant to show evidence of a wide variety of your accomplishments. • A résumétells someone what you have accomplished. • A portfolioshows someone what you have accomplished

  4. What evidence can be placed in a Portfolio? Evidence comes in many forms. You can include evidence of your skills, your talents, your achievements, your awards, your experiences, as well as your learning and employability skills. Be sure to include things you do both in school and away from school. Portfolio evidence is referred to as artifacts. Each artifact should be clearly labeled. The reader should know what each artifact proves about you.

  28. Portfolio • Do I have a Cover Page for my portfolio? The cover page will be designed by you and must be representative of you. It will go on front pocket of your binder, or it will be the first page of your portfolio. It should showcase your interests, values, goals, visions etc. Use visuals and text to create a professional looking cover page that sets you apart from everyone else. • A cover page should, minimally, include the following items: • your name (no course information) • a title for your portfolio • a visual Do I have a Table of Contents for my portfolio? A Table of Contents provides the reader with a guide to the sections and information you have included in your portfolio. It is prepared last and helps you organize your materials in a logical sequence that is easy to read and understand. Numbering your portfolio pages or colour coding the sections will help you to organize your table of contents. ***Every page of your portfolio should be labeled and numbered.***

  29. CLM 11 Compulsory Items • I have provided you with 3 pages of hand-outs to guide you. There are compulsory items that must be placed in your portfolio. These are things that you complete as part of the CLM 11 course. (i.e. job shadow evaluation)

  30. Update Your Portfolio As you learn and develop new skills, your Portfolio needs to be kept up-to-date. You will frequently update your portfolio by discarding outdated evidence and inserting new and better evidence as it is accumulated. Save your portfolio and update it as you go through high school. Most of you will require a portfolio at some point in your career. This is a good way to start building your professional career portfolio!
