What is an ePortfolio?
An mchs.Portfolio is your personal website that allows you to document, deepen, and reflect on your learning experiences during your time at Middle College and LaGuardia.
Additionally, you can download and share this handout, either digitally or in hard copy, when introducing mchs.Portfolio to students. Click on your preferred language: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English or Spanish
When will create your mchs.Portfolio?
You will start creating your mchs.Portfolio in your First Year Seminar course using a template customized for your major, which you can continue to update over your time at Middle College and LaGuardia. As you take courses in your major, you will continue to use your mchs.Portfolio to showcase projects and assignments, plan your degree, career and transfer goals, and develop core skills that will prepare you for the future. Overall, your mchs.Portfolio will help you showcase your story.
Students and faculty must login with their DOE or MCHS credential to begin to create a portfolio.

Graduation-level PBATs are evaluated by external assessors using Consortium rubrics for both writing and oral presentations. In addition, a series of interim assessments, roundtables, classroom argumentation based on content and evidence, creative and first-person writing, and hands-on projects all prepare students for their final PBATs.
Consortium teachers commit to the many layers of work and collaboration required to support performance assessment. They design challenging curricula and tasks, respond to student interests and needs, develop and revise rubrics, and participate in Consortium and school-based professional development. Collaboration is extensive, from observing each other’s classrooms, to serving as external evaluators, sharing curriculum, and evaluating each other’s assignments and student work at bi-annual moderation studies. The professionals who participate in Consortium schools share a unique role in the ongoing history of education in the U.S.
