My goals for student eportfolios

It is my goal that student ePortfolios...

  • be a canvas on which students can display their best work
  • be a vehicle of self-reflection for students
  • be a means of self-evaluation for students
  • be a means of authentic assessment in biology for me as their teacher
  • help students set meaningful goals for themselves and hold themselves accountable to their own self-imposed completion dates
  • allow students to view the work of other students
  • be an open forum in which students can have collegial discussions
  • be a central location in which students can showcase all of their accomplishments, build their resume, and prepare for learning beyond high school
  • be a cross-discipline and cross-level arena for students to build their academic identity with the ultimate goal of life-long learning
