Morning workshop: Reflection is the "heart and soul" of a portfolios. In this session, we will learn how to facilitate student reflection on the artifacts that they put into their portfolios, and on the portfolio as a whole story of learning. Teachers also add reflections in students portfolios, in the form of feedback on student work. We will also look at appropriate feedback in portfolios to help students improve their learning.
Afternoon session - Assessment in the portfolio process can be used both to evaluate learning (summative assessment) and provide feedback to students (formative assessment). Participants will review rubrics currently developed to assess portfolios, and customize these rubrics to meet the needs for assessing student technology competency. We will use a free online rubric development tool (RubiStar) to develop and share these rubrics.

- Learning to Learn Portfolio Model was developed by Ian Fox, the Principal at Bucklands Beach Intermediate School, Auckland, New Zealand. This model provides a wonderful framework for thinking about portfolios in schools: Metacognitive Development, Assessment to Improve Learning, and Development of Home-School Links. His online paper, Learning to Learn in the 21st Century, provides further explanation of this model and how it is implemented in his school.
- Stefanakis-Barrett Model of Differentiating Portfolio Purposes.
My colleague, Evangeline Harris Stefanakis, developed a model of Assessment for Learning, placing portfolios on a continuum between Learning and Accountability. We added my table that differentiates Portfolios used for Learning (Assessment FOR Learning) with Portfolios used for Accountability (Assessment OF Learning). (see my White Paper and upcoming paper to be published in IRA's Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy).
