Teacher Checklist for Portfolio Assessment
_____ 1.
Understand the purpose of the portfolio. Demonstrate growth in the skills, perceptions, and
development of the ProTeam student in relation to each module by providing a collection of his/her
work and reflection gathered over a period of time.
_____ 2.
Review portfolios regularly. Students need to revisit their work often. Portfolios need to be
incorporated into daily instruction as much as possible.
_____ 3.
Students need to self-reflect. Until they are comfortable with self-assessment, the teacher will need
to provide help and guidance.
_____ 4.
Take time for peer evaluation. A weekly swap among peers can be a powerful resource. Provide
“sticky notes” for peers to write positive comments.
_____ 5.
Share with parents/guardians. Portfolios are great for conferencing.
_____ 6.
Know your limits. Don't bite off more than you can chew!
