One of the most beneficial goals was meeting with the seniors one month prior to portfolio presentations to go over any challenges they were having with placing content into their e-portfolio. Mike put a schedule
together for shops that did not interfere with gym and shop teachers were given passes for students to come for the portfolio checks. Mike, Lew and I met with them every week on alternating days. Liz was able to lend a hand too. We checked portfolios for content and deliverables, answered questions about how to imbed video, upload images, and organize their portfolios for presentations. We kept a spreadsheet of student progress and continued to work with students who were not on par for their graduation presentations dates. If their portfolios were complete they were checked off and dismissed.
In our year end meeting we discussed what the team goals and portfolio initiatives would be.
Next Year September 2011:
PLC Meet with new Asst Principal to discuss e-portfolio components;
Provide Professional Development on Google Sites for Heather Mulford to help bring all 9th grade students on board with a new google site;
Administer Google Form to determine Junior and Senior completed portfolio requirements
Organize shops into groups for pull out days for all Seniors in the Spring of 2012.
We had a great year as a team.
