Student portfolios

This morning students will complete the first phase of their student portfolios in preparation for upcoming student-led family-student-educator conferences. The showcase portfolios in some ways are show-off portfolios where students include examples of their best work. These portfolios are also reflective pieces where students include reflections about their social-emotional goals/efforts and academic mindsets and work. The goal of the showcase portfolios is to put children in the driver's seat of their learning life by helping them to focus in on the work they do, the goals they have, their needs, and their accomplishments. It's a great guide for students to use as they lead their conference conversation.
