Materials I would like to include are self portraits (beginning of the year/end of the year) and at the beginning of the year I would ask students what their goal is. Then include another goal in the middle of the year and another at the end of the year. This way we see how goals change and how students work towards their goals. ]]> 2023-10-03 15:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730489111 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730491434 Mackenzie Lung ]]> 2023-10-03 15:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730491434 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730491945 Green:

How do you think you have grown academically from the beginning of the school year to the end?
Which part of the portfolio are you the most proud of?]]> 2023-10-03 15:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730491945 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730492301 Portfolios help teachers keep track of what students progress is throughout the year.

Looking through and seeing the growth can also be helpful as the teacher can understand what they did correctly. ]]> 2023-10-03 15:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730493658 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730493781 Questions I would ask students:
What is a piece in your portfolio that you are most proud of?
What do you think you worked hard on and improved on the most throughout the year?
What is something you want to improve on?]]> 2023-10-03 15:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730493781 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730494090 I would use portfolios to provide a visual example of how my students are progressing in their work. I like that not only I can use it as an assessment of their work but the families have the opportunity to see a collection of their childs abilities and growth throughout the year.]]> 2023-10-03 15:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730494090 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730494462 I think a portfolio assessment can be beneficial for my students because at the end of the year they would be able to see how far they've come. Students are always very hard on themselves and don't see their progress and how much they've improved. Collecting assessments in a portfolio can show students the progress they've made from the beginning of the year to the point that they are at now. Doing this can help build their confidence and realize that they have grown more than they have thought.]]> 2023-10-03 15:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730494462 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730494517 How might you use portfolios as an assessment window for your students?

Using this as an assessment can benefit me and the student. ]]> 2023-10-03 15:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730495563 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730495823 McKinna Craig

1.) How might you use portfolios as an assessment window for your students.
From each lesson I can take an initial activity we did, like a pre-assessment before starting to teach the lesson, and then an ending activity or summative assessment the children did  once the lesson topic is wrapping up. This can show their growth of knowledge from the beginning to end of the time frame. It shows what they learned.

2.) What materials would you want to include?
I would want to use binders for each child's portfolio where I can date each of the items in it. This can show the child's growth all the way from the beginning of the year, throughout the year, and end of the year. This will be a great resource to give to parents at the end of the year and something they can be a keepsake for the family. It can include assessments, writing samples, pictures, etc.]]> 2023-10-03 15:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730495823 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730495930 Portfolio assessment can be beneficial for you as the teacher because you will be able to see the progress your students have made throughout the year. This helps you to evaluate how well you are teaching and monitor the growth of the students and what assignments were liked by students if they chose to add it into their portfolio.]]> 2023-10-03 15:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730495930 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730496117 Gray: In the student portfolios I would like to various materials. I imagine each student having a binder that they will place their materials in. Materials will include various works completed by the student (and chosen by them) from the beginning, middle, and end of the year to showcase growth. It is important to include student work from various subjects: math, science, social students, reading, writing, etc. to show that the student is being taught a well-wounded curriculum. ]]> 2023-10-03 15:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730496117 https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730496643 Portfolio assessment can be beneficial for you as the teacher, by you can show the parents of your class how their child grew in the different contents throughout the scholl year. I like having them to watch how the class understand and how they grow as the year progresses.

They are also essential for teachers to inform their practice on what and how to teach and may reflect on it for more individualized learning. Lastly it helps the parents see where their child is at and how they can incorporate that knowledge into activities they may want to do at home.]]> 2023-10-03 15:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kmccormick4/bxvu7f7nqig/wish/2730498668
