What is meant by a “PORTFOLIO”? A PORTFOLIO is a collection of “sample evidence” of student work that demonstrates their competencies in a number of areas. The BC Graduation Portfolio is designed to showcase this evidence across a wide variety of areas throughout a student’s secondary school career, from grade 10 to 12. The Graduation Portfolio is sorted into various “ORGANIZERS” that contain the evidence…..

What is meant by “CHOICE” Aspect? CHOICE Aspects are additional items that students choose to include in their Portfolio, which demonstrate greater depth of achievement within a particular ORGANIZER. Items included as CHOICE Aspects must satisfy more advanced criteria than those set out for the CORE Aspects. CHOICE Aspects can earn up to 5 marks each

Reflective Response Form (How to Use) The Response Form provides a way of documenting portfolio evidence. The Response Form lays out a specific format for typing in responses…follow it…and it’s easy! One Response Form should be included for each piece of Evidence that is included in the Portfolio. The check box at the top of the form ensures that each write up satisfies the criteria requirements Copies of assignments or pictures should be attached to the form as the “hard evidence”.

The brochure is attached. Criteria #2:Demonstrates that you have followed school policies regarding appropriate/safe care/use of basic computer equipment and Internet privileges. I treated the computer with respect by not intentionally damaging any part of it. I followed school policy regarding Internet use, not taking advantage of the time to do other things, and made sure I used sites relevant to my assignment. A copy of the school policy for Internet/Computer use can be found in the agenda on page 12. I also followed school policies by taking down my own notes and creating sentences out of that, rather than copying the information directly off the websites.
