Competency-specific Portfolios

A typed table of contents is important for location of portfolio parts. The Standards Chapters, Application Chapters, Assessments and Self Evaluation should all be identified, named and easy to locate.
 * Table of Contents **

Each portfolio has a different number of smaller standards that make it up. In all the Standards Chapters, there should be representation of all the standards (i.e. they may be combined in chapters, depending on the learner’s approach to the portfolio work). Standards chapters need to be named by the standards addressed within it. They need to introduce the standard and describe the concept and explain how the included Application Chapters evidence the claim. Every piece of evidence of Application should be referenced by description and location.
 * Standards Chapters** (for a specific power standards)

Application include projects, challenges and practice problems that the student solved using the skills and/or concept. The students need to include more than just one example of each kind of problem- and show enough variety to evidence mastery of the skill. The projects must be completed fully and assessed for consideration.
 * Application Chapters** (for a specific power standards)

Assessments generated by external grading methods (or from a teacher) that verify the learning claim must accompany each problem and project.
 * Assessments** (for a specific power standards)

Students must write about their own personal development through exploring and learning the content. As the student evaluates their own development, they must make specific reference to the work they have included in the portfolio and answer the questions: What worked and what could have been improved in the learning experiences? What specific and measurable goals did the student establish for themselves and complete?
 * Self-Evaluation **
