WHY? How is this useful? Words that teachers use when asked about student development and teaching: Self esteem Self awareness Strength based For CAREER Development Evidence to support strengths and skills are essential to begin to think about one’s potential and possibilities.

19. MY Personal Portfolio From grades 6-9 --- Portfolio development is to focus on them THE PERSONAL PORTFOLIO – PAA grade 7-9 Step 1 --- Is to keep adding to something like a scrapbook with things about themselves, activities, achievements, etc. and things that interest them. This can also include PAA projects – taking pictures of the student’s project or pictures of the student working in the various PAA labs. Step 2 is to have students add reflective commentaries beside the entries to explain what the entry is about and what the student was doing. It is also useful for the student to comment on if it was something they liked doing. In grade 7-9 the commentaries would include the use of employment or essential skills language which will assist the student to identify th skills that they used in the activity they were engaged in. In Grade 9 – continuing to add entries and now sorting and creating a CAREER PORTFOLIO that will be of use in high school and future planning for post secondary school, part-time or full time employment opportunities.
