This is a video I found online with what I think is a nice detailed portfolio example that goes above and beyond my two examples above. Near the end of the video there is a 2nd example of a much simpler portfolio that I think is very creative and resourceful.

This is actually 2 example that I found online in one video. The first one is very detailed. The second one is more simple but creative and resourceful.

This is an example of my daughters portfolio from her EC years. I worked in the same school so also made the same type of portfolio for the children in my classroom.

- Each child should have one 3-ring folder.  They can even design their own cover and write their own name, if they desire and have the skill.

- Have plenty of clear protective sheets on hand.

- You'll need things like paper, colored paper, a printer, scissors and glue.

- Keep all of the materials in an assessable area and let the children choose something that they created to put inside each month.

- Teachers can add photos, with or without captions, every month or two.

- Both children and parents are able to see a progression over a three year period.

- During the first year, and for activities that do not produce a 'product', photos of children using classroom activities can be used.

- Keeping the portfolios in a place accessible to children, and letting them choose their own work sample to add, gives the children agency and motivation.

- A well-done portfolio can become a treasured and priceless family memento for many years to come.

- A portfolio can be said to be an authentic type of assessment in that it can show knowledge over a period of time with real time photos and samples of classroom work, especially when it comes to the early childhood years.

- If you were assigning a portfolio to older students, it would be important to have a clear purpose and goals, as well as clear grading criteria.

- This method of assessment can be time-consuming, especially if the teacher is preparing the portfolios.

- This type of assessment can help parents and stakeholders in learning to better understand the process of education, while giving students active participation in their own assessments.

This example is from a top level pubic research and development kindergarten in Shanghai. I think this is a well-done version that is not Montessori.
