Portfolio templates 5. Assessing student achievements based on portfolio materials

Since 2011, in almost all educational institutions, the preparation of a student’s portfolio is mandatory. It must be compiled already in elementary school. It is clear that this will be a difficult task for a first-grader, so the preparation of this document mainly falls on the shoulders of the parents. And it is quite natural that many of them will have a question about how to prepare a student’s portfolio.

What does a student's portfolio look like?

A portfolio is a collection of documents, photographs, work samples that illustrate a person’s knowledge, skills, and abilities in any activity. A children's portfolio for a schoolchild provides information about the child himself, his environment, performance at school, and participation in various school and extracurricular activities. It demonstrates his success in creativity, sports, and hobbies. The school explains the purpose of creating a portfolio for a primary school student by saying that in the process of work the child comprehends his first achievements and capabilities, and he has an incentive to further develop his abilities. This work will help him when moving to another school. In addition, the portfolio of a gifted child gives more chances in the future when entering a higher educational institution.

There are 3 types of student portfolio:

• portfolio of documents, containing material about the child’s achievements in the form of certified documents (certificate, certificates, bonuses, awards);
• portfolio of works, which is a collection of creative, educational or project works of a schoolchild;
• portfolio of reviews, consisting of characteristics of the student’s attitude towards activities.

The most informative and widespread is a comprehensive portfolio that includes all of the listed types.

How to create a student's portfolio?

Making a portfolio for a schoolchild with your own hands is not so difficult; you will need imagination and a desire to create, as well as cooperation between the child and his parents.

The structure of any portfolio includes a title page, sections and appendices. You can buy ready-made forms at a bookstore and fill them out by hand. Alternatively, develop the design yourself in Photoshop, CorelDraw, or Word.

Over time, the child’s portfolio needs to be replenished with new demonstrations of success and achievements.

On the eve of the new year, you always want to change and change something. That's why we prepared an unusual portfolio for the student in the colors of the Russian Federation and called it quite boldly: Patriot! This portfolio template is perfect for students of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and higher grades. The composition includes thirty sheets, which is quite enough at this stage of study.

When children go to school, their most vivid memories of this time are naturally associated with the summer holidays. After all, in the summer you can take a break from school, from lessons and have fun with friends. All students are waiting for summer and want it to come as soon as possible. But after the summer holidays, you will have to return to school and sit at your desks. But when students graduate from school, they begin to miss it. To make being bored more pleasant. We offer a new portfolio for a girl to go to school for all 9 or 11 years of study, called – memories of summer.

Fairy tales - we start reading and watching them from childhood. Afterwards they haunt us all our lives, and we want to turn our life into a fairy tale. Disney's new film Maleficent has become a real fairy tale that is loved by many. And it was based on this fairy tale that we made a new student portfolio for boys and girls.

It’s good when a child has his own heroes, even from a cartoon. He looks up to them, imitates them and wants to be like them. If your child loves the cartoon about the Winx fairies, then this portfolio is for him. New, bright and unique - Winx portfolio for elementary school girls. The portfolio included 25 pages. Each of them has its own style and design. All pages are different in coloring and decorated with new Winx characters. When you fill out all the templates, you will get a small book that will contain everything about your child’s life.

When you send your child to a sports section, you dream that he will grow into a real professional and become a star in the sport he plays. But to make your dreams come true, you need to make every effort. First, you need to train your child. Secondly, praise him for his successes and motivate him in every possible way to play sports. And thirdly, you need to help him see the progress he is making. A new beautiful student portfolio called hockey and basketball will help you with this. Such a portfolio will always be with your child, and he will be able to look through it, look at photographs of great athletes and see his achievements. With such a portfolio, your child has something to strive for and achieve.

Both boys and girls love cars. Because they are beautiful, they can be driven fast, and they influence our daily lives more and more. The most beautiful and reliable cars are made in Japan. That is why our new student portfolio is made using Japanese machines. A beautiful portfolio for a boy and a girl consists of 18 pages. You can watch a sample of each sheet in our video, which we specially prepared for the presentation of the new portfolio.

If for boys the portfolio usually contains cars or comic book characters, then for girls it is very simple to design. These can be dolls with princesses, or just flowers, or even plain options. But we did not do either one or the other. Not others. And they made a completely new portfolio for an elementary school student in pink with roses. Look at a sample portfolio and show it to your girl. Perhaps she will like it, and she will want to get herself just such an option.
There are a total of 28 different pages in the portfolio. And among them there are both title pages and for filling. Watch the video below to better understand whether it is right for you or not.

Memo for teachers on maintaining a portfolio

1. Involving parents to help fill out sections of the portfolio (especially in 1st grade).

2. Portfolio sections should not be numbered, but arranged in random order (optional).

3. The result of the work is dated so that dynamics can be tracked; the corresponding assessment always compares the child’s current work with earlier work.

4. Do not use the portfolio to compare children with each other!!!

6. Viewing of the portfolio by teachers, parents and other students is permitted only with the knowledge and consent of the student to whom the portfolio belongs.

7. The pages of the portfolio must be beautifully designed; the child must understand the importance of the appearance of the document.

8. It is important that at each stage in the process of moving towards the intended goal, the student’s success is recorded, because success is the best incentive for further development.

9. At the end of the school year, you can make a presentation and determine the winner in the nominations “The most original portfolio”, “For the best design of work”, “For versatility and talent”, “For hard work”.

Interaction with parents

Most parents, being confident that a portfolio will definitely help when entering a university, are very meticulous in filling it out, and some are convinced by teachers of this, creating motivation for creating a portfolio for their children.

It is very important to make parents your allies in the difficult task of collecting a portfolio. Therefore, it is initially worth attracting active, caring parents. A system of advisory assistance is needed: consultations, seminars on designing and filling out portfolio pages.

It is important to teach how to observe, notice everything new and interesting, and be sure to record and write it down. With the help of a portfolio, parents see their child from the outside, his desires, interests.

The portfolio can also be used as additional material when studying a family - its way of life, interests, traditions. Observing children and their parents in the process of creating a portfolio, teachers noted that such events contribute to the establishment of warmer relationships in the family.

One of the main results of working on a portfolio is that parents learn to observe and notice the changes that are taking place, and systematize them. Some help can be provided by reminders and questionnaires, based on which parents will be able to highlight especially bright and interesting moments in the development of their child.

Memo for students on maintaining a portfolio

1. Start your portfolio work with a story about yourself, your family, your hobbies.

2. Compiling a portfolio is not a race for all kinds of certificates. The process of participation itself is important, although a high result, of course, pleases.

3. Fill out the portfolio pages carefully, show your imagination and creativity where necessary, because your portfolio should be different from others.

4. Learn to notice your even small successes, rejoice at them!

5. Apply to filling out your portfolio in a good mood!
