3. My Map
I will follow the following steps:
My Tools
Checklist
Classify the portfolios examined. Used the checklist below:
Types of Portfolio Tally (How many did you
see?)
Frequency
Documentation portfolio
Process portfolio
Showcase Portfolio
Step 1: Review portfolio assessment methods. I will refer to
assessment of Learning 2, 2007 by Santos, R. pp.63-75 and other
references.
Step2: Talk with at least 2 Resource Teachers and ask permission to go
over available learner’s portfolios.
Step 3: Classify the portfolio.
Step 4: Examine the elements and content of each portfolio.
Step5: Analyze my Observations.
Step 6: Reflect on my experience.

4. Observation Checklist
Select 3 best portfolios from what you examined. Which element/s is/are present
in each? Please check.

Shows about My Progress as a learner”
2. Table of Contents with numbered pages
3. Entries- Both core (required items) and optional items

My Reflections
1. Have portfolios made the learning assessment process inconvenient? Is the
effort exerted on portfolio commensurate to the improvement of learning that
results from the use of portfolio?
