The Showcase Portfolio is designed to display students’ reflection on their development of competence in each of the six Core Educational Objective domains (CEOs) and serves as a culminating project in Part Three of the Lead.Serve.Inspire curriculum. It provides both formative and summative assessment of achievement in the Practice-Based & Lifelong Learning Competency.
Reflective Stories
Reflective stories are intended to be the central feature of the portfolio. Each reflective story should convey a narrative illustrating the student’s development in one of the six CEO domains while referencing significant learning experiences. Students may utilize any combination of visual, auditory, and textual communication and should include at least two digital artifacts in each story.
Students are also welcome to add additional categories in order to showcase other experiences, reflections, or achievements.
Assessment
The skills assessed include the ability to:
- create well-organized personal stories
- display evidence of competency in the six competency domains
- reflect on current level of progress for each competency
- define goals and plans for further development of these competencies
- demonstrate personal reflection in an oral presentation
Students meet in person with two portfolio coaches (not their primary coach) to present highlights of their portfolio and respond to questions about their portfolio and learning experiences.
