2. "An e-Portfolio is a learner-driven
collection of digital objects demonstrating
experiences, achievements and evidence
of learning. e-Portfolios provide learners
with a structured way of recording their
learning experiences... and can include a
range of digital evidence such as audio,
video, photographs and blogs."
Dr Helen Barrett, 2009

4. Our Purpose
For students
to become
self-
regulated/
self directed
life long
leaners.. To provide evidence of
learning, specific
achievement data and
next learning steps.
5. Teacher Feedback
Parents don’t look at them often
A lot of work
Need to include more learning areas next year
Schoolwide consistency an issue
7. e-Portfolio Contents
Literacy and Numeracy goals
Reflections by students, teacher and
parents
Evidence of progress - work samples,
reading data, numeracy stage, cumulative
graphs etc
Spelling/basic facts - graphs and expectations
8. e-Portfolio Contents continued
My Competencies - self assessed
rubrics, teacher comments, relates to all
curriculum areas
Teacher Feedback - a general comments area
My Achievements - certificates,
awards, accomplishments - home and school
More About Me - student selects work
they are proud of and would like to share
14. Summary
Trial before schoolwide implementation
Focus on pedagogy - include parents!
Frequent, small doses of skills based workshops
(“just in time”), small groups
In-class support required in early stages
Review annually - staff, parents, students

U6 contributing school, East Auckland. Decile 6, ~40 ethnicities, roll 570-630.
3rd year as lead school in eastnet ict-pd cluster. 1st year AtoL contract.
Overview of presentation - timeline, playtime, ask questions anytime
more formative assessment focussed, aligns with NZC, 3-D, focus not on technology but on the learning
Staff meeting at end of 2009, using scribblar teachers worked in groups to brainstorm the good, the bad and the ugly about e-Portfolios at EPS. They came up with many of the same things that management and ICT Lead Teachers had also identified.
Online survey, details in newsletter, link on school website, handed out at collaborative conferences, computers available at collaborative conferences.
2010 expectations
Key competencies are included from 2010 - this will allow us to bring in all curriculum learning areas within the context of key competencies (concept rather than content based learning)
This year the Y2’s to 6 will be doing lit and the whole school will be doing numeracy graph to show the progression of student learning over the year at the mom the teachers will have to take screen shots and inset into chn eport. this graphs aligns with the National Standards.
In year 1 the reading results are recorded on a monthly basis until the end of the students first year at school. This graph is easy to read for the parents and easy to keep updated for the teachers. Teachers take a screen shot and insert it into the student’s e-portfolio.
spelling and basic facts graphs have been implemented throughout all year 3 - 6 classes this year as a result of feedback from parents.
Key competencies (to include all learning areas), parent education, parent logins, interoperability to avoid double entry, consistency (esp comments), collaborative conference up-skilling, increase student ownership, assess to learn contract, sustainability (ICT lead teacher release, hardware)

Pedagogy - formative assessment, learning intentions, success criteria, reflective writing, teacher feedback/feedforward, John Hattie!
Workshops - definitely NOT whole staff!
In 2008 the whole school were invited to design an Inquiry model for the whole school to use. This design became our Whole School Inquiry approach.
At the end of 2009 each syndicate team within our school met with the Auckland Regional Council Enviro School’s facilitator, Cate Jessop to plan a school wide Inquiry unit based on Sustainability.
This is the Year 4 planning format. The activities in Green are ones that the Y4 team are doing the black activities are ones that we can do if we choose and the Red Activities are whole school activities. All teams throughout the school are using the same format for their inquiry planning.
This is how our Sustainability unit fits in with our EPS Inquiry Model. During Term 1 for the last 4 weeks of term and for the first couple of weeks in Term 2 we are setting the scene for unit. Providing the hook, building the children’s excitement levels up. We then move into the questioning and planning part of our unit, where each class is mapping out a vision for the school. All of therm 3 and some of term 4 classes are going to be working on their visions and implementing them into our school this is the Discovering, Sifting and Sorting, Synthesising part of our plan. At the end of Term 4 when we will be celebrating our success and asking What next.
Online survey, details in newsletter, link on school website, handed out at collaborative conferences, computers available at collaborative conferences for parents to fill in survey.
the survey provided the school with feedback to refine the students e-ports.

In year 1 the reading results are recorded on a monthly basis until the end of the students first year at school. This graph is easy to read for the parents and easy to keep updated for the teachers. Teachers take a screen shot and insert it into the student’s e-portfolio.
All students have a literacy goal, whether it is written with the teacher or by the student independently. Teacher comments are in line with the National Standards examples that were sent out to all schools and parents who received them in their letter boxes.
The literacy comment from teacher says where the student is at, what they can do, what the next learning steps are, and how they can be supported at home.
The same is for the numeracy goal and when the goal is achieved a new goal is set.
spelling and basic facts graphs have been implemented throughout all year 3 - 6 classes this year as a result of feedback from parents.
Archiving - building on form year to year
This year 3 teachers are undertaking Action Research this year focus is on How can we incorporate e-Learning tools into a Literacy program.
We will be sharing the results at the cluster share at then end of the year.
