Sra. Spanglish Rides Again: Proficiency Portfolio Re-design - 1 views

  •  
    You need a portfolio for two reasons: to reflect well and look good. Reflection Selecting work to go into a portfolio is a metacognitive process that requires you to compare what you have actually accomplished with the desired end. I would like students to do this more frequently than the end of each grading period, and I plan to make portfolio updating at least a biweekly process. To this end, I've created a whole page within my newly revamped site template for this reflective process (hint: this should also be a gold mine for Assessment of Student Work "time lapse artifacts" for me to show my fitness as an educator). I want students to see their progress in stages.

Kristy is a Canadian middle school teacher who is in her seventh year of teaching Grades 7 and 8′s. She has allowed students to bring their own technology into the classroom for a few years now, and is excited to share how BYOD works in her classroom.

      Can't the STAMP, AAPPL or an AP exam suffice?
  • Offering these awards and the seal gives students something to strive for, Garcia said, because it will formally acknowledge their bilingual skills.
  • Students can receive “pathway awards” in third, fifth and eighth grade if they demonstrate skills in two or more languages and are on the path to earning a seal at the end of high school.

  • “This would help existing (dual language) programs give students the recognition they deserve because many of them have been in a program for many years working on these proficiencies…it gives students a reason to become more proficient than just being able to order at a restaurant in French.”
  • mployers and colleges will see the seal and know that student’s bilingual abilities are formally recognized. It gives students a competitive edge.
  • here are nearly 82,000 unfilled jobs nationwide that require bilingual speakers.
  • “(The seal) makes students highly marketable and prepared for any type of opportunity, college or career,”
