1. E-Portfolio P.E.A.K.S.+ (portfolio for presentation)
Hatboro-Horsham High School
The essential questions this portfolio addresses:
1. Who am I?
2. What do I love? (Passion Driven)
3. Where am I going? (Begin with the end in mind & Transition Planning)
Personal Characteristics: On this page
students reflect on what they know
about themselves as learners and
workers and explain what is
important to them now and for their
future. It serves as an introduction to
the portfolio.
Experience is a “connected” resume.
This resume is linked to school and
outside websites that connect the
reader to the activity and/or agency
cited giving the reader an immediate
and better understanding of cited
experiences.

Achievements: Students can show
evidence of their learning, work and
interests on the Achievements page.
They showcase performances,
leadership and community
activities—even workplace
experience. This is where a student
presents their work and talents.
Knowledge: This is where the student
explains their interests and passions.
They create and present their plan
that includes long, mid and short
term professional and personal goals.
The plan should be grounded in at
least tentative career choices and
have a high probability of success.

Skills: Students use this page to
confirm skills presented in the
portfolio via letters of reference.
Students must decide who would be a
good source for a reference and ask
those persons to write a letter of
reference. The student then selects a
comment from the letter to highlight
the skill they feel best represents
them and the “story” they are telling
with the portfolio. The primary
document is embedded on this page.
Additional understanding about said
skill may also be presented on this
page.
*The Skills page presented is not from Hannah Hatboro’s portfolio. This is a representation of how a
student page may be presented.
The Plus+ page: includes student
surveys. Hannah’s include the Interest
Profiler (Holland Survey), Work Values
and Myers-Briggs surveys. Included
for each is Hannah’s understanding of
what the survey results mean to her.
Other pages in the portfolio confirm
her career interests and goals are in
alignment with her survey results. If a
student’s surveys do not align with
goals, the student should address
those differences and offer a plan to
overcome known obstacles.

a. The reason I include this
i. I built and modeled building a portfolio using my own career so students could
see that an e-portfolio is something that everyone can have, keep and use—
IOW, it’s not just an assignment for school!
Why a wiki when you are not using this in the true sense of a wiki?
1. When used as an educational vehicle, it’s free.
2. The wiki’s pages can be locked keeping student identity private. Student’s must invite and then
approve someone to view their wiki.
3. Students “own” their wiki portfolio. They can continue to use it, add to it, and tweak it, etc. long
after they leave us.
P.E.A.K.S.+ portfolios are presentation portfolios. I am currently researching ways to deepen this
experience via a working portfolio that would eventually be transitioned to a presentation portfolio. I
am considering the use of Moodle for future portfolio projects. Our IU offers this vehicle (free) to
districts in the IU. For more info on PEAKS portfolio:
