AOL2 (NATURE OF PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT) - EXPLORE

I. Discuss the concepts of the nature of portfolio assessment in the following situations.

1. After graduation, you plan to apply for a teaching position in a reputable school and one
of the requirements is for you to construct a teaching portfolio that will show your
qualifications for the position being applied for. What evidence (performance or
product) will you include in your portfolio? Explain your answer.

When I’m going to construct the Teaching Portfolio, I will include the following:

− Teaching Experiences and Responsibilities, you provide a context for the reader
and set the stage for the main points you’ll be making about your teaching inside
and outside of the classroom.
− Teaching philosophy and goals, what you believe, goals for the students,
development and plans on improving the teaching.
− Teaching Method and Strategies, it describes how you teach, on how you are
effective in teaching.
− Goals and Plan for the Future.

2. During the PTA meeting, Mrs. Marcos, mother of your student John, happen to see and
examine the portfolio of her son and daughter, Sarah from another class. After spending
almost 40 minutes going through the portfolio of her son and skimming the portfolio of
her, Mrs. Marcos approached you and said, my daughter’s portfolio is very impressive
and outstanding. To be honest, John’s portfolio is less polished but I think he included
everything in your class, the product, and performance. Why is there a difference in the
final rating? How would you respond to Mrs. Marcos inquiry?

− All the portfolio will be constructed well so that the readers will be satisfied with
the outcome for your portfolio.
− The importance of having a portfolio on how you summarize and construct the
important main point of your portfolio.

3. You are asked to evaluate the last portfolio you have submitted. How will you process
it? Do you think your portfolio satisfies its purpose, use, and characteristics? Discuss
your answer.
− Decide how the results of a portfolio evaluation will be used to inform the program.
− Identify the learning outcomes the portfolio will address.
− Portfolios can contain a range of items–plans, reports, essays, resume, checklists,
self-assessments.
− Create instructions that specify how to collect, select, reflect, format, and submit.
II. Grading and reporting.

Supposing you are handling a Grade 7 class, and as part of the list of activities lined-up for
the school year, you are to prepare for the first Parent-teacher meeting. The agenda would
be: School policies and regulations, the grading system of the K+12 including the
assessment methods and assessment tools that will be utilized to serve as evidence and
input for the grading system. How would you prepare for the said conference? Use the
template provided below as guide for your preparation.

What will I do…

ACTIVITIES DETAILS
Before the − Send a personal letter to each parent to confirm the day, time, and
conference place of the conference.
− Inform parents ahead of time about the purpose of the conference.
− Gather file folders or portfolios of each student's work.
− Be sure your schedule is coordinated with other teachers in the
school.
− Many parents will have more than one child in school and need
sufficient time with each teacher.
During the − Provide parents with specific academic information.
conference − Invite and obtain additional information from parents.
− Listen carefully to parents. If you're nervous, you will tend to
“take over” the conversation—by as much as 90 percent. Try for a
50-50 balance.
− Combine your perceptions and their observations into a workable
plan of action. Ask for parent ideas, and use those ideas in
addressing challenging situations.
− Let parents know that you are always available for follow-up
(phone calls, personal meetings, etc.).
After the − Save a few minutes after each conference to jot down a couple
conference notes.
− Don't take notes during the conference—it tends to inhibit many
parents and makes eye-to-eye conversation difficult.
− Record your observations, perceptions, and suggestions on a 3×5
index card with the student's name at the top.
− File these in a recipe box for later reference.
− Immediate feedback is necessary to ensure parent cooperation and
participation in any shared solutions.
