Be sure to delete the student's name from all papers. Describe what the student learned, what the student still needs to learn, and what you have learned about your teaching as a result of your review of the work. Select 6-8 pieces of work from the portfolio on which to base your analysis. Identify contrasting evidence across pieces of work that you can use to illustrate your points. Analyze the evidence from the portfolio, your notes, and other observations.
Effective teaching requires assessment of student learning on an ongoing basis.
Reflect on the ways in which you evaluate what students know and are able to do as a result of your teaching. Select one example of informal and one of formal assessment that you use with your students. Prepare a copy of the assessment and scoring criteria. Provide copies of student work that you have evaluated which includes feedback to the students. If work was completed in a group, a group product is acceptable.
