Being a forerunner in the development of my school's PLP system is evidence toward my proficiency in NETS 4: Continuously improve professional practice, model lifelong learning, and exhibit leadership in school and professional community by promoting and demonstrating the effective use of digital tools and resources.
We worked together today to create a google site template for our eighth graders. It was immensely helpful to have a panel of students join us so we can share the template plan with them. Their feedback was spot on:
You will see in this template we have thought deeply about the two types of portfolios we want to support: one for learning and one as learning. Because we understand the importance of ongoing reflection, collecting of work in routine ways, and having a process in place for curating that work as evidence, we have included on this template both a place to "present" best work, and a link to ongoing, messy, formative reflection with a tab link to student blogs in Blogger. This template is evidence to show our learning over the course of the week.
