A Scorer’s Portfolio Scoring accreditation is now assessment (rather than exam) based and summer is the best time to build a scoring portfolio for anyone wishing to travel along the Scorer Education Pathway. • Match planning details, especially when scoring a new or more advanced match type • A development action plan If you have recently undergone Club Scorer training with an ACO tutor, then you will already be familiar with the concept of the portfolio and should have the documents that you need to get started, but those of us who underwent our basic training earlier, may not be aware of what the portfolio is and what goes in it. • Facing page from any course attended, including date, venue, tutor and course reference. Course references for portfolio facing pages will be given out on future scoring courses, but to ascertain a historic course reference, please contact your County Scorer Officer (CSO) who will be able to identify this for you. Blank copies of portfolio forms can be found in the scorer’s info folder under ECB Public in InEx (ACO document storage area in the Who’s The Umpire website), where you will also find a document listing the criteria used to assess against at each level. Alternatively, talk to your CSO who should be able to send you blank copies of any of these forms. A scorer’s portfolio is a folder of evidence that helps to demonstrate your scoring ability. You can put anything you like in it, but here is a list of suggested items: • Copies of completed scoresheets (minimum of 10 per assessment) • A log of all matches scored, listing match type, colleagues, venue etc • Observation from colleagues on Scorer Performance Review forms • Self-reflection and learning points from matches scored Don’t wait until you have attended another course. Why not download the forms now and start building a portfolio that spans your whole scoring career? When you have built a portfolio and are ready for assessment, contact your CSO who will be able to arrange a professional discussion with an accredited ACO assessor.
