Trauma-Informed Leadership - Five Practical Principles
1. Portfolio.pdf
1. 1. Portfolio
The portfolio is a storage medium, digital or otherwise. The learner stores in the portfolio documents, work and other evidence to show learning and progress
over time on a project or topic.
In education, portfolios can be powerful tools to help learners reflect on their learning, identify strengths and weaknesses and set future learning goals.
The sections of a portfolio can be modified, but as an example it might include the following sections:
1. Cover page
2. Introduction/Introduction: brief presentation of the portfolio.
3. Who is doing it, why they are doing it and the learning objectives that the learner has set for themselves (measurable, achievable,
important and time-bound).
4. Index: to find the work stored in the portfolio.
5. Outstanding work: collects the learner's most outstanding work (evidence) which is selected to show the learner's progress and learning skills. They are the
essence of the portfolio. They show the achievement of the expected learning.
6. Reflection: This section includes the learner's reflection on their own learning. This can be a reflection on each activity or a general reflection.
You can use journals, summaries, notes.... The metacognition ladder can be used to help: What have I learnt? How have I learnt? What difficulties have I had?
What do I do better now than before? What use is this to me? In what other circumstances will I use it?
7. Evaluation/Conclusions: This section includes the student's evaluation of his or her work. It takes into account the objectives set out in the introduction to
the portfolio, the evidence gathered and the reflections made. The assessment can be carried out according to your own criteria or those established by the
teacher (e.g. by rubric).
