Legacy from the Portfolio Literature
Much to learn from the literature on paper-based portfolios
As adult learners, we have much to learn from how children approach portfolios
“Everything I know about portfolios was confirmed working with a kindergartener”

The Power of Portfolios
Author: Dr. Elizabeth Hebert, Principal
Crow Island School, Winnetka, Illinois
Picture taken by Helen Barrett at AERA, Seattle, April, 2001
From the Preface (1)
“Portfolios have been with us for a very long time. Those of us who grew up in the 1950s or earlier recognize portfolios as reincarnations of the large memory boxes or drawers where our parents collected starred spelling tests, lacy valentines, science fair posters, early attempts at poetry, and (of course) the obligatory set of plaster hands. Each item was selected by our parents because it represented our acquisition of a new skill or our feelings of accomplishment. Perhaps an entry was accompanied by a special notation of praise from a teacher or maybe it was placed in the box just because we did it.”
Hebert, Elizabeth (2001) The Power of Portfolios. Jossey-Bass, p.ix
From the Preface (2)
“We formed part of our identity from the contents of these memory boxes. We recognized each piece and its association with a particular time or experience. We shared these collections with grandparents to reinforce feelings of pride and we reexamined them on rainy days when friends were unavailable for play. Reflecting on the collection allowed us to attribute importance to these artifacts, and by extension to ourselves, as they gave witness to the story of our early school experiences.”
Hebert, Elizabeth (2001) The Power of Portfolios. Jossey-Bass, p.ix
From the Preface (3)
“Our parents couldn’t possibly envision that these memory boxes would be the inspiration for an innovative way of thinking about children’s learning. These collections, lovingly stored away on our behalf, are the genuine exemplar for documenting children’s learning over time. But now these memory boxes have a different meaning. It’s not purely private or personal, although the personal is what gives power to what they can mean.”
Hebert, Elizabeth (2001) The Power of Portfolios. Jossey-Bass, p.ix-x
Let’s get personal…Think for a minute about:
Something about your COLLECTIONS:Suggested topics:
If you are a parent, what you saved for your children
What your parents saved for you
What you collect…
Why you collect…
Some issues to consider
What do your collections say about what you value?
Is there a difference between what you purposefully save and what you can’t throw away?
How can we use our personal collections experiences to help learners as they develop their portfolios?
The power of portfolios [to support deep learning] is personal.

Electronic Portfolios
Now?
National Educational Technology Plan (2010)
Technology also gives students opportunities for taking ownership of their learning. Student-managed electronic learning portfolios can be part of a persistent learning record and help students develop the self-awareness required to set their own learning goals, express their own views of their strengths, weaknesses, and achievements, and take responsibility for them. Educators can use them to gauge students’ development, and they also can be shared with peers, parents, and others who are part of students’ extended network. (p.12)

Step 2: Benefits of Portfolios
Identify Incentives for participation in e-portfolio development (self-awareness, intrinsic reward systems) (Why would your students want to develop an ePortfolio?)
Benefits…from the PROCESS: They will discover a valuable exercise in self
assessment through the reflection process Learning will take on a new depth through the
reflection process Their self esteem and self-confidence will be
enhanced as they take control of their learning. They may develop their own goals for their
learning. Assessment of their learning may become more
student centered; the learner is involved and authorized to make decisions about will be evaluated.
They will receive more recognition for individual learning abilities and preferences.
They will learn and begin to practice a process that will be used in life long and life wide learning pursuits.
Benefits…from the PRODUCT:
They will have a tool for personal development. They will have a personal learning record. They may receive credit for informal and non-formal
learning as well as formal learning. They will have direction for career planning. They will have a tool for feedback from teachers and
peers; feedback in the form of comments, as opposed to marks.
They will have a concrete way of showcasing strengths to teachers or future employers.
They may have needed documentation for prior learning assessment or program credits.
They may receive credit towards a course completion or towards graduation
They will have an extremely portable tool to use no matter where they are in the world.

Student Literacy Achievement through
Blogging The Project definitely provided a
motivation for writing, an improvement in audience awareness and purpose and in presentation skills. Other school interventions also had an impact on literacy achievement; however the Project has provided a purpose and enthusiasm for literacy.
The students of Manaiakalani were provided with a “hook” (e-learning outcomes published in on-line spaces) which gave these decile 1 students a voice to be heard globally. Subsequently, participating in the Manaiakalani Project enhanced their literacy, engagement, oral language and presentation. (p.70)

United #7 ePortfolio Vision Statement
(Draft)By implementing e-portfolios, United#7 will empower students to become active participants in their own personalized education. Through use of reflection, technology, and collaboration, students and teachers will develop skills that will lead them to achieve their lifelong goals.
From Mead School District’s Student Portfolio Handbook:
Remember, you are telling us a story, and not just any story. Your portfolio is meant to be your story of your life over the last four years as well as the story of where your life might be going during the next four years: tell it with pride!

Digital Story of Deep Learning
Voice6+1 Trait® Definition
Voice is the writer coming through the words, the sense that a real person is speaking to us and cares about the message. It is the heart and soul of the writing, the magic, the wit, the feeling, the life and breath. When the writer is engaged personally with the topic, he/she imparts a personal tone and flavor to the piece that is unmistakably his/hers alone. And it is that individual something–different from the mark of all other writers–that we call Voice.
http://educationnorthwest.org/resource/503#Voice
Portfolio as Story
"A portfolio tells a story. It is the story of knowing. Knowing about things... Knowing oneself... Knowing an audience... Portfolios are students' own stories of what they know, why they believe they know it, and why others should be of the same opinion.” (Paulson & Paulson, 1991, p.2)
Roger Schank, Tell Me a Story“Telling stories and listening
to other people's stories shape the memories we have
of our experiences.”
Stories help us organize our experience and define our sense of
ourselves.

1 paragraph!What is your
“elevator Speech”
describing your Vision for
ePortfolios?
A California School District K-12 Vision
Electronic portfolios foster meaningful learning by allowing all students to evaluate their growth over time, to share their achievements and strengths with others, and to improve their own skills through reflection and goal setting.
One NYC school’s Vision
An electronic portfolio will allow students to create a collaborative, portable, personal space that fosters self-reflection, promotes academic accomplishments, and highlights individual growth. Through the integration of technology and the collection of digital artifacts, students will be able to showcase their achievements to peers and educators, while helping envision their future goals.
