Defining Digital Portfolios and
Portfolio Events
Digital portfolios are selected bodies of online student
work and reflection that provide evidence of students’
progress toward classroom learning targets and grade-level
themes and allow them to easily share and make changes
to their selections throughout the year.
Portfolio events are opportunities throughout the school
year for students to share and discuss the work contained
in their digital portfolios, such as student-led conferences,
celebrations of learning, and passage presentations.
Original Definitions from Leaders of their Own Learning
Defining Student-Led Conference, and Celebration of
Learning, and Passage Presentation
A student-led conference is a meeting attended by families and teachers.
Students facilitate the meetings themselves, share portfolio work, and
discuss progress with attendees.
A celebration of learning is a culminating grade-level or schoolwide event
attended by families, teachers, and members of the greater community.
Students facilitate the meetings themselves, share portfolio work, articulate
learning and achievement, and demonstrate college- and career-readiness
to attendees.
A passage presentation is a benchmark event at the end of a pivotal
transitions year (i.e. fifth, eighth, or twelfth grade) attended by families,
teachers, and members of the greater community. Students facilitate the
meetings themselves and share portfolio work to demonstrate their readiness
to move on to the next level of their education.

Authentic Audience
Every final draft my students complete is done for an
outside audience. It may be for a small audience of
Kindergarten children or a national audience on educational
television. Either way, my role as teacher is not as the sole
judge of their work but rather similar to that of a sports
coach or a play director: I am helping them to get their work
ready for the public eye. There is a reason to do the work
well, and it’s not just because the teacher wants it that way.
-- Ron Berger, An Ethic of Excellence (2003)

  • 4. Defining Digital Portfolios and Portfolio Events Digital portfolios are selected bodies of online student work and reflection that provide evidence of students’ progress toward classroom learning targets and grade-level themes and allow them to easily share and make changes to their selections throughout the year. Portfolio events are opportunities throughout the school year for students to share and discuss the work contained in their digital portfolios, such as student-led conferences, celebrations of learning, and passage presentations. Original Definitions from Leaders of their Own Learning
  • 5. Defining Student-Led Conference, and Celebration of Learning, and Passage Presentation A student-led conference is a meeting attended by families and teachers. Students facilitate the meetings themselves, share portfolio work, and discuss progress with attendees. A celebration of learning is a culminating grade-level or schoolwide event attended by families, teachers, and members of the greater community. Students facilitate the meetings themselves, share portfolio work, articulate learning and achievement, and demonstrate college- and career-readiness to attendees. A passage presentation is a benchmark event at the end of a pivotal transitions year (i.e. fifth, eighth, or twelfth grade) attended by families, teachers, and members of the greater community. Students facilitate the meetings themselves and share portfolio work to demonstrate their readiness to move on to the next level of their education.

  • 7. Authentic Audience Every final draft my students complete is done for an outside audience. It may be for a small audience of Kindergarten children or a national audience on educational television. Either way, my role as teacher is not as the sole judge of their work but rather similar to that of a sports coach or a play director: I am helping them to get their work ready for the public eye. There is a reason to do the work well, and it’s not just because the teacher wants it that way. -- Ron Berger, An Ethic of Excellence (2003)
