Teacher Portfolios For Level I only Level I teachers prepare Teacher Portfolios instead of preparing and presenting a Bravo Assembly. The objective of portfolios is to provide a record of each grade level’s participation in Class Act and to document students’ and teachers’ arts integration experience. Portfolios require that teachers document at least three activities that they have completed with their students. Portfolio preparation will be discussed in all Level I Teacher Workshops, but teachers may find the Portfolio Guidelines below helpful as they plan their year. Portfolio Guidelines 1) Each Classroom or Grade Level is required to complete a Portfolio. You and your fellow teachers, along with your principal, should decide how you would like to approach the project using one of the approaches below ‣ Grade Level Approach: Each grade level completes a Portfolio together, with each class in that grade level collaborating together. Efforts may be lead by one or more teachers in the group. All students should participate in all activities documented in the Portfolio. ‣ Individual Classroom Approach: Each individual classroom completes a Portfolio. Individual teachers work with their own students, documenting activities completed by all students in their class. ‣ Mixed Approach: The mixed approach allows some grade levels to take the Individual Classroom Approach and other grade levels to take the Grade Level Approach. Each grade level follows their chosen approach, with all students participating in all activities documented by their grade level or classroom teacher/leader 2) A completed Portfolio documents the completion of at least three activities ‣ Activities should be taken from the Teacher Workshop packet 3) A completed Portfolio documents and assesses all activities (three minimum required) by using an Activity Log Page for each activity o Assessment of each activity should be included, using one of the following methods: Narrative Description, Rating Scale, Checklist (teacher and/or students), or Peer Rubric Assessment (students only) o Accompanying examples of student work or photo/video record of student work (documentation) should be included with each Activity Log Page (see the Documentation and Assessment section of each activity for more details on this) o The name or number of the activity used should also be included (i.e. Activity #1A from Teacher Workshop Packet) 54
o A blank Activity Log Page will be provided in your Teacher Workshop packet. Either make photocopies from this packet, or download an electronic version of this packet and print copies 4) A completed Portfolio also includes a cover page (use the templates provided in your Teacher Workshop packet). 5) Compile your completed Portfolio in a three ring binder*, placing documents in the following order. Remember that each Classroom or Grade Level should submit their own Portfolio. *You may also submit a paperless (digital) portfolio, provided you are able to provide the necessary documentation (i.e. photographs, recordings, examples of student work) ‣ Cover Page (using included template) ‣ Activity Log Page #1, with assessment Documentation for Activity (student work or footage/photos) ‣ Activity Log Page #2, with assessment Documentation for Activity (student work or footage/photos) ‣ Activity Log Page #3, with assessment Documentation for Activity (student work or footage/photos) ‣ Any additional activities (optional), including Log Page, assessment and documentation 6) Please give your completed Portfolio to your Teacher Representative by June 3, 2013. Teacher Representatives should turn all Portfolios in to their Regional Manager by June7, 2013 and should ensure that they have a completed Portfolio from each classroom or grade level. Helpful Tips ‣ In choosing which activities to undertake with your students, focus on selecting activities that allow you to address a variety of developmental areas ‣ All adults involved in the Portfolio process are responsible for its completion. Aids and resource specialists should be encouraged to include their notes and observations ‣ Allow the students to be a part of the process, to select which work will be included in the Portfolio, and to participate in the assessment process Questions? Teachers requiring assistance with the planning or execution of their activities or the compiling of their Portfolio should contact their Regional Manager. 55
