No one is born with skill. It is
developed through exercise,
through repetition, through a blend
of learning and reflection that's
both painstaking and rewarding.
And it takes time.

P f C
Ownership: Who can add or post things in the portfolio?
Sharing: Who gets to see it?
Devices: Will it work with the edtech you already use?
User friendliness: If you don’t or they don't like it, it won't work.
18. Be selective about expectations.
Instill a sense of ownership in students creating them.
Communicate strategies & timelines.
Aim to show continuous improvement and growth.
Make sure content meets needs of those assessing it.

resource teachers have is
each other. Without
collaboration our growth
is limited to our own
perspectives.
