Portfolio entry template
As you develop a learner portfolio, it is important for each entry to reflect the purpose of the entire portfolio, namely to make learning visible. The previous page introduces a portfolio rubric, which is used by Mr. Philpot and his students to monitor development and progress. The portfolio entry template presented here helps you make your learning visible and relevant to the criteria. Each heading in the entry corresponds to a criterion from the rubric. In Mr. Philpot's class, each entry is a page on a Google Site. Each page appears in a section with the same name as the unit during which the activity or assignment was done. You make a copy of the Google Doc here or view it as HTML below. See an example of how this template has been applied below.
