Student Portfolios K - 8

Teachers must keep a sampling of student work in portfolios to show progress over time. THIS IS NOT AN EVERYDAY WORK FOLDER, but rather a sampling of student work that is graded using rubrics. For each sampling of work, there must be a clear expectation shown so that students will know how and why they earned the grade they received.

Every student must have a current portfolio, which reflects his/her performance in your classroom. Please update the portfolios every 6 weeks to reflect current instruction and asessments. Below is a checklist of some of the items that should be found in student portfolios:

•Current writing samples from the various genre :

Informative

Persuasive

Narrative

• Works in progress from various subjects
• Current writing projects
• A variety of rigorous and relevant teacher prepared tests
• Math projects / Activities
