I plan to use this model for my class, and I'll share it with other sites in Vermont who are using portfolios for assessment. This piece is the missing link - How to present yourself to an employer, how to explain what you've learned and what specific skills you have acquired and mastered. It documents the value of the program the student has been involved in; it is a major step toward establishing accountability for what we as teachers are doing with students. It is compact and concise. The student her/himself will be able to speak about every documented skill knowledgeably because from the beginning it has been clear what the standards are, and the student understands what steps s/he has taken to accomplish the goals. It is a flexible document, tailored to each individual. I'm really excited to start using it, though my class only has 8 more weeks to go. since they're already assembling portfolios and are familiar with the Standards, I think we can adapt this Passport idea so that students will leave clas with it in hand - that's my goal! and next year, we'll start the year with this in mind. I will also order the Career passport Implementation handbook. Thanks, Carolyn
