New standards introduced in schools are aimed atfirst of all on the formation of a successful personality, which strives to achieve the goals set and is able to achieve them. In this regard, from the initial classes (and sometimes from the kindergarten), children begin to conduct a portfolio in which their achievements are recorded. Usually it is a folder in which letters of credit and certificates are put. It contains other information about the child. However, parents and teachers often have questions about how best to make out the portfolio.
In primary school most often fixationachievements are carried out at will. In the upper grades, more attention is paid to this, since the portfolio can be one of the advantages of a child with a high competition during admission to a professional or higher educational institution.
So, for registration you will need a folder with files.It is desirable that they can be added or removed. If it is necessary to make a preschooler's portfolio, then you can choose a folder with a colorful and bright cover. In high school it is desirable to choose a more reserved and official option. In addition, you can purchase in-box folders that will allow you to organize the content of the portfolio, dividing it into its thematic parts.
It is important that the portfolio design was not so muchduty, as a manifestation of the creativity of the student. On the cover sheet, information about the owner of the folder is usually reported. Some schools give specific recommendations for its design. For example, in the corner you can put a logo or emblem of an educational institution, class.
The next sheet that is needed isautobiography of the student. Here the child is given the opportunity to present himself in such a way that the reader could appreciate not only the richness of speech and the literacy of the schoolboy, but also his analytical abilities, the ability to express his thoughts clearly and consistently.
To design the portfolio of the schoolboy was morecomplete, it is desirable to involve pedagogical workers, including the school psychologist. The results of diagnostics and examinations can be placed after an autobiography. This information is not an obligatory document that should be put into the portfolio, so they are attached only at the request of schoolchildren and their parents.
The main part of this cumulative folderare the results of certain achievements of the child. This will include letters received for participation in competitions, events, sports competitions, work in circles, as well as documents on the completion of additional courses.
Portfolio design ends with recommendationsclass teacher and (or) psychologist, in which the student's successes are summarized, it is said about his interests and inclinations. Then the student can write about his opinion on self-determination, his future, and share his goals.
It must be said that the portfolio in traininginstitutions are conducted not only by schoolchildren, but also by pedagogical workers. The purpose of documentation in this case is to be able to provide their achievements for the attestation and evaluation of the teacher’s work.
Making a portfolio of teacher or teacherwill be different from what is done by the student. Attestation commissions give clear instructions that describe the requirements for these documents. The teacher’s portfolio includes structured sections, each of which covers a specific aspect of its activities. There will also be provided certificates and diplomas confirming the participation of the teacher in competitions and other events. In this case, the teacher includes in the folder information not only about his achievements, but also about the success of his pupils.
