CES Fall Forum 2016

Compass School's portfolio roundtable process has long had a powerful impact. Students are led to profound self awareness, teachers have found a source of unparalleled gratification, and community members better understand the aims of personalized learning. But how can a school build on these successes and raise the bar for all students--even in the non-portfolio years? Teachers and administrators are invited to learn about our "portfolio week", a structure that can create an exciting pulse of reflecting, collaborating, and celebrating in school. You will learn more about the power of portfolio roundtables, try out prompts for end-of-year reflections, gain ideas for incorporating peer-peer collaboration in the portfolio process, and brainstorm how to adapt any of these ideas to your classroom or school.
