I've had several questions about Canton's portfolios and career passports
since Susan's question.  In the EFF list archives (March 28, 2000 written
by Jane Meyer) you can find a description of our process, but I'll add here
that when we did our competency list for the career passport we didn't have
the components of performance for the skills.  Now that we have them we
need to update our competencies.  In talking about the project we are
thinking about forming the competency statements around the worker role map
instead of the skills wheel.  Either way, this is a good example of using
an EFF tool (skills wheel or role map) to help us do something we need to
do (in this case articulate to students and employers what the students
know and can do).  Next time you need to do something look at the various
EFF tools and see if any of them can help you.  In this case we see 2 tools
that would work so we need to think about which one would work best for us
in this case.  Jane Meyer, Canton, Ohio
