Course Description/Objectives:
This
course focuses on the development and use of
student-directed portfolios to support the academic
growth, self-awareness, and self-determination of
students in grades K-12. It incorporates current
practices in student portfolio use and the
constructs of Portfolios for Student Growth
(PSG), a portfolio process designed for deaf and
hard of hearing students and useful for all
students. Portfolios for Student Growth
integrates 21st century skill development
into a process of self-determination that challenges
students to connect learning with their desired
futures. Participants will explore the rationale
and benefits of student portfolio use with students
of all ability levels including a focus on students
with disabilities. The course will also address how
a student-directed portfolio process engages
elementary - high school students in addressing key
skills for academic and life-long success:
independence, responsibility, organization,
self-awareness, and self-determination. Each
component of portfolio development: outcomes,
goal-setting, evidence, reflection, and assessment
will be introduced and modeled. Participants will
apply concepts to their professional environment and
will enjoy a highly interactive learning
environment. They will apply readings and
discussions to course activities and to the creation
of their own portfolio development plan.
Course Outcomes:
-
Participants will explore how a student-directed
portfolio process engages students in addressing
key skills for academic and post-secondary
success: independence, academic and personal

Portfolio connection serves as a critical
framework for linking academic planning, progress,
