1. Did I see samples of the 3 different types of portfolio? Yes! 2. What did I observe to be the most commonly used portfolio? A working portfolio is so named because it is a project “in the works,” containing work in progress as well as finished samples of work. It serves as a holding tank for work that may be selected later for a more permanent assessment or display portfolio. 3. As I examined 3 selected portfolios, did I see all the elements of a portfolio? Yes I see the elements of the portfolio they are the;

4. Is it necessary for a teacher to use varied types of portfolio? Why? Teachers understand and use varied assessments to inform instruction, evaluate and ensure student learning. Teachers are knowledgeable about assessment types, their purposes and the data they generate. 5. If one element or two elements of a portfolio are missing, will this have any impact on the assessment process? Explain your answer. It will affect the grading system of the portfolio. And it may lead to misunderstanding of the student for she will not get the grade that she deserves.

1. Have portfolios made the learning assessment process inconvenient? Is the effort exerted on portfolio assessment commensurate to the improvement of learning that results from the use of portfolio? Instructional approaches on K-12 education have changed with the age of time. Technological advancements have brought into play greater use of visual aids, hypermedia, and interactive simulations and lesser practice of the traditional chalkboard method. Additionally, curricular developments have been undertaken to address the ever increasing stack of educational information needed by students. These did not only redefine the teaching process during K-12 education but also affected the learning experience of students. Such curricular changes also brought about dynamism in the educational evaluation process. Electronically generated examinations, evidenced-based researches, learning portfolios, and the like have been utilized in addition to the conventional paper-and-pen examinations. The use of learning portfolios, as a new approach to the evaluation process has gauged students' performance and ability to process learned information. Portfolios are collection of documents, literature and other educational materials designed to assess specific student performance. These may cover the conception, drafting, and revision of works in progress; the best pieces of a student's creation; student's assessment of outputs; and parents' and/or instructors' evaluative comments on strengths and weaknesses. It is reflective of the daily learning experience of students and should be a continuous documentation to specifically scale student's status, progress and accomplishments.

I will take the following steps:

1. Review “Grading and Reporting” in Assessment of Learning 2, 2007 by Santos, R. , pp.90-100

2. Offer my help to my Resource Teacher in the checking of test papers especially in the scoring of answers to essay tests. (Visit a school during exam week to make arrangements.)

3. Check test papers and score essay tests.

4. Attend a Homeroom Meeting in a school during Card-Getting Day and observe how my Resource Teacher communicates assessment results and grades.

5. Analyze my experience.

6. Write my reflections

Activity 2 I will compute the grades of students with the guidance of my Resource Teacher. Put sample computation here!

Activity 3 I will attend a Homeroom Meeting on Card-getting Day. Outline the parts of the meeting. Describe how the Resource Teacher communicated learners’ assessment and grades to parents. 1. Parts of the Homeroom Meeting

II. How the Resource Teacher communicated learners’ assessment results and grades to parents.

Scoring and Grading 1. Which tests are easier to score? More difficult to score? Why?

2. Based on your actual computation of grades, from what were the grades of the learners derived?

3. Which type of grading system does the school have? (Letter-grade system, as a range 4.0 – 1.0 in percentages, as descriptions – excellent for needs improvement, es – fail checklists of objectives, etc.)

1. In the Homeroom meeting, did the teacher’s reporting and communicating of grades take place smoothly? Or were there instances when discussions became heated because of the way the reporting was handled? Described your observations.

1. Grades are often a source of misunderstanding. How should I do scoring (especially essay), grading and reporting so that scores and grades are given fairly to promote learning?

Research on “Best Practices” of schools on effective scoring, grading and reporting.
