I have achieved one of my summer goals. I finally, finally created the template for my math portfolio. Only because it was my final project for my writing across the curriculum class, but still, it's done.
The portfolio is built around my Algebra II class but I don't have the concept list or my priorities nailed down yet so the concepts the students will be writing about will change. I think that's what I need the most help on. I want students to write about big concepts, essential questions, the overall themes throughout the course.
I'm feeling pretty optimistic about it but I'm ready to see what you guys think. Is this doable? Will this project increase student achievement in any way? Did I use writing in a way that will increase learning? Did I leave out any important ideas? What should be changed or removed? How could I do this better?
I wish I could show a picture of every page (I could, but won't) because I am ridiculously proud of it, but it's 25 pages long.
Without further ado, my math portfolio!
Wow, wow, and wow! I bow to you! This is awesome...and most definitely a TON of work. Way to go! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was definitely a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteHi I found your post using a google search. I am very impressed with your work and I want to thank you for being willing to share. The Skills Response Organizer and Peer Review Form are exactly what I was looking for. I didn't start the year with portfolio assessment but I wanted the students to assemble a portfolio as a final review tool. Thanks again!

This is great! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteIs this portfolio still available to view? Due to digital learning, I am looking to possibly assess my Algebra students with a portfolio. I am looking at all examples I can find. Thanks.
