Step 1: Research • understand the pedagogy • read the literature • talk to the experts • view eportfolios • best practice visits • network with practitioners

“...assessment for the purpose ofimproving student learning...”http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ The New Zealand Curriculum

“Schools should explore not only howICT can supplement traditional ways ofteaching but also how it can open up newand different ways of learning.”http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/nirak/ The New Zealand Curriculum

parents and caregivers as“...working withkey partners who have uniqueknowledge of their children and countlessopportunities to advance their children’slearning.”http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ The New Zealand Curriculum

learn as they engage in“Studentsshared activities andconversations with other people...”http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ The New Zealand Curriculum

“...all students should develop strategiesfor self-monitoring andcollaborative evaluation oftheir performance in relation to suitablecriteria.”http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ The New Zealand Curriculum

“...young people should be educated in waysthat support them to assume control oftheir own learningand that they canonly do this if they develop thecapability to assess their own learning.”http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ Directions for Assessment in New Zealand

“...assessment’s primary function is to supportlearning by generating feedbackthat students can act upon in terms ofwhere they are going, how they are going, andwhere they might go next.”http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ Directions for Assessment in New Zealand

“Parents and the wider school community willalso need to get better atunderstanding assessmentinformation and interpreting it inways that support learning...”http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ Directions for Assessment in New Zealand

Effective reporting systems will be ones wherestudent voice’ is an integral‘part of the reporting process. Student Led Conferences: How effective are they...?

mobile devices in the...we can best useWorkspace portfolio, to capturelearning and reﬂectcontemporaneously (in the middle of thelearning process)...http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/ari/ Helen Barrett, 2011

...a mechanism for both collecting evidence ofthinking and action and as a meansof stimulating and supporting furtherprofessional developmentthrough group discussion andcritique.http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ Digital Portfolios for Teachers

Evidence of professional practice thatmeets the criteria will need to beprovided to the teachers’ professionalleaders... Registered Teacher Criteria

Teachers also need to develop the self-regulatory skills that will enablethem to monitor and reﬂect on theeffectiveness of changes they maketo their practice. Teacher Professional Learning and Development

evidence from research and from...their own past practice and that ofcolleagues to plan teaching andlearning opportunities... The New Zealand Curriculum

...a fully electronic resource for teachers to usewhilemoderating the judgment of astudents work with a person, groupor cluster of people. http://myportfolio.school.nz/moderation/

Step 2: Define Clearly define your: • purpose • vision and beliefs • audience • alignment with broader school vision and beliefs • benefits

“An e-portfolio is an electronic formatfor learners to record their work,their achievements and theirgoals, to reﬂect on theirlearning, and to share and besupported in this.” Banks, 2004

“...ideas of what an e-portfolio is arecomplex and to an extent thedeﬁnition and purpose will varydepending on the perspective fromwhich a particular person is approachingthe concept...”http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/darthdowney/ JISC ePortfolio Infokit

The beneﬁts...“The use of multimedia tools is onestrategy that involves andengages learners.”http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ Barrett, 2005

The power of ‘student voice’ shouldnot be underestimated. To hear studentsreﬂecting on their own work, in theirown voice, with their own intonations andexpressions, conveys meaning in a manner thatis simply not possible in written form.http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ Ian Fox 2008

...thesocial networking potentialof the learning landscape and eportfolio-related tools are features that facilitateand enhance the making ofconnections and the linking togetherof people, ideas, resources andlearning... Tosh et al., 2006

“...it is the quality, not just thequantity, of feedback that meritsour closest attention.”http://ﬂickr.com/photos/torres21/ Sadler, 1998
