Portfolio Workshop

A hands-on practical learning tool! 
Phyllis Lightfoot presents a full day workshop on student portfolios using the process and strategies outlined in the book.

 

Read what participants say about her workshop:

 

The part that I liked best was…
  • "It was practical (hands-on/straight-forward material) which made it meaningful. There were concrete examples and ready-to-go/ready-made materials for implementation soon after."
  • "The language was easy to follow. Everything was brought together in a way that made sense and easy to apply to the classroom."
  • "It [the workshop] really put into perspective the whole process of how to create portfolios. I like the fact that it was very teacher-friendly and when I looked over it afterward I was able to follow the steps of how to introduce portfolios to my students."
  • "It was also of great value looking at some of the different web sites."

In my classroom I will…
  • "I have introduced portfolios in my classroom. My students are really excited about them! I told them we were going to do a growth portfolio and I explained what it was. I also told them that we are going to focus on creating a writing portfolio. My students were especially excited when we discussed the audience for their portfolio. I can't wait to put their first piece of writing in their portfolios and to have them set goals and self-reflect!"
  • "Continue to build on the portfolios I presently have in place. I will begin introducing rubrics that allow children to learn to self-assess their work and portfolios as a whole."
  • "Change my portfolio implementation from every subject to just writing. Send a letter home, have a portfolio celebration."
  • "I am looking forward to implementing some of your ideas in my classroom."
