4 INTRODUCTION TO THE PORTFOLIO PROCESS The Wareham Public Schools has adopted the Standards-Based Portfolio to fulfill the requirements for Individual Student Success Plans and Educational Proficiency Plans as outlined by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education under the No Child Left Behind Act. These requirements demand a documentation of students work aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and Learning Standards, specifically standards that have not been met with proficiency. Through the portfolio system students will not only collect their completed work but will also reflect on their efforts to demonstrate proficiency on common assignments in English language arts and mathematics. As the students build their portfolio through each school year, they will be able to examine their work and their improving proficiency. Students will also include at least one assignment per semester from science and social studies classes as they demonstrate application of English language arts and mathematics skills in these other subjects. PORTFOLIO GUIDELINES Portfolio: Contents consist of common assignments by department, grade, and subject. Portfolio binders will be kept in homeroom; working files remain in teachers classrooms. Portfolio binders include student work throughout the school year. Specific contents are determined by each department through development of common assignments in English language arts and mathematics, by grade and subject area. 2 English language arts and 2 mathematics assignments, per quarter or per term, each one accompanied by a student reflection (see page 12 for form). 1 science and 1 social studies assignment per semester, each accompanied by a student reflection. Assessment: Rubrics are developed in each department respectively for grading common assignments. 2 points will be added to the term average per quarter for submission of 2 assignments and their corresponding reflection sheets. Points added to quarter average in Mathematics and English language arts. Final student reflection of the entire portfolio, in addition to the reflections corresponding to the assignments, must be completed at end of year and is required to earn points added to the fourth quarter average. Collection and Collation of Portfolio Submissions: Homeroom classes will be the storage location of students portfolio binders. During semester and final exam days, students will take their portfolio binders to their exam classes. Exam classes will be extended slightly to allow time for students to move their portfolio submissions from their class/subject folders to their portfolios. Exam days will end with a homeroom period to allow students to return their portfolio binders. Students will complete their final reflection during a designated homeroom period in May that will be extended. At the present time the artifacts that demonstrate the most "portfolio worthiness" shall be anchor assignments. These tasks shall be generated collaboratively in departments and represent departmental consensus on the depth of understanding a student must demonstrate to meet a given Massachusetts Learning Standard. 4
5 Mission of Wareham Public Schools The mission of the Wareham Public Schools is to educate all students for life s responsibilities, challenges, and opportunities.

11 Types of Portfolio Artifacts - 2 types Teacher-generated - whole class, common assignments; most artifacts will come from here. They will have a clear connection to Standards and will be assessed using a rubric that has been developed within the respective department. Student reflection sheets the forms are included in this handbook. Each student will complete in the relevant class, a reflection sheet for each common assignment. The intention is that the reflection sheets will be completed when the graded assignment is returned, and students have an opportunity to review their work, commenting on its demonstrated proficiency of the corresponding standard(s). The artifact shall contain clear and convincing evidence that the student has applied higher order thinking skills such as analysis, application, and comprehension. Teachers Responsibility English language arts and mathematics teachers will assign and collect: 2 assignments per quarter (8 per year); these will be common assignments by grade and subject area. Common assignments and their rubrics will be developed in each department.. 1 reflection sheet completed by the students per assignment. Students in core classes will submit additional English language arts and mathematics assignments at teachers direction; all assignments included in the portfolio will include a student reflection sheet. Science and social studies teachers will assign and collect: 1 assignment per semester (2 per year); these will be common assignments by grade and subject area. Common assignments and their rubrics will be developed in each department. Each portfolio submission shall include the following: Student work, i.e. the completed common assignment; Student reflection form, completed, which gives a brief description of work, explanation of why the piece is in the Portfolio, reflection of the learning process and description of how this work meets the required learning standards, using the form included in this handbook. Rubrics corresponding to each assignment, as have been developed in the departments, to ensure that each entry has achieved the learning standards as determined by department. Student Responsibility While the school will provide the resources and support necessary for successful portfolio completion, it is the student's responsibility to fulfill all requirements. Students may also choose additional submissions to the portfolio that go beyond the requirements once the requirements are met. The student is expected to complete the assigned portfolio task within a specified pre-determined timeframe. If there are technical problems or other extenuating circumstances that prevent completion of an entry, it will be the student s responsibility to seek out a solution to the problem. Ultimately, the student must have a complete portfolio. 11
12 21 st Century Qualities of Success Self-Directed Student, choosing to learn from models (adults and peers) to engage others in working together, and to evaluate his/her own performance and learning. Creative Problem Solver, choosing to utilize time and resources to work cooperatively and independently towards a defined goal. Effective Communicator, choosing to clearly and confidently speak, listen, and interpret ideas across content areas, to write logically, concisely and persuasively, and choosing to use technology as a means of communication. Skillful User of Technology, choosing to access on-line sources to exchange information, to analyze data using databases and spreadsheets, to interpret and present data effectively, and to use word-processing software. Responsible Member of a Community, choosing to recognize individuality and respect diversity, and to meaningfully participate in school and community life. Supporter and/or Performer of the Arts, choosing to purposefully create, perform and/or respond to music, visual arts, theatre and/or dance, and to support fellow students as they engage in artistic endeavors of their choice. 12
13 Reflection Sheet Student Name: Date: Course/Teacher's Name: Summarize what you were asked to do for this assignment.

14 Portfolio Final Reflection Please review your portfolio and answer the following questions about your work: 1. What have you learned about yourself by putting together your portfolio? In what area have you achieved the greatest improvement? 2. If you could redo any one of your selections, which one would it be, and what would you do differently? 3. What is your favorite piece? Why do you consider this piece special? 4. If you could publish one selection from this portfolio, which would it be and why? 5. In the future, how will you be able to use the skills, knowledge or experience you gained by completing this task? 6.
