  1. Guidelines to Creating a SEMIS Portfolio Please Read the following Introduction Help Pages!

  2. Portfolio Rationale There are many compelling reasons for creating a project teaching and learning portfolio. Please keep these reasons in mind as you develop your portfolio. SEMIS Project Portfolio

  3. Four Powerful Tools SEMIS Project Planning Guide:A tool that helps us plan backwards (when possible in focused ways to align our projects to goals identified on the SEMIS Rubric and State and National standards. SEMIS Lesson Plan Template: A tool that helps document the specific lessons you create to prepare for and support your school team’s project. SEMIS Rubric: A tool that helps assess our progress towards specific goals and to identify important next steps as individual teachers and school teams. SEMIS Portfolio: A tool that helps us to reflect on the work we do together in SEMIS. (See the previous slide)

  4. Portfolio Outline This is the basic list of what is expected to be included in each portfolio. We are building in time to work on portfolio development during our PDs throughout the year so that each school team has at least one project portfolio complete by the Winter PD meeting. • School Community Context • Project Description Narrative • Project Artifacts • Reflections

  5. Template Tips: Filling it Out We recognize that each project is unique – our goal was to make the template flexible enough to help you tell the story of your project and have ample space to reflect meaningfully on all that you have accomplished. If you know some of this information is already written out in other locations (i.e. your SEMIS School Page, or the Project Planning Guidelines), feel free to cut, paste, add and adjust accordingly. We respectfully ask that you try to stick to the format we have created. Contact us if you find yourself getting stuck or needing something different.

  10. Project Description Use your Project Planning Guide to write a narrative describing the SEMIS Project. These portfolios are stories, so include the “who, what, when , where and how.” • Describe the partners involved (e.g. other schools, community groups) • Introduce the SEMIS Project including • Area of Stewardship this project focused on • Grade Level and number of students • Length of project. Include a start and finish date for the project. • Connection to the school team’s essential question. • Connection to EcoJustice concepts and questions.

  12. Project Artifacts Select and use artifacts throughout your portfolio where it helps document and communicate the work you are sharing. You decide where they best fit. • Select Artifacts (e.g., video(s), photos, student work, lessons etc.) that help tell the project story. You can either upload them or include links to other internet sources here. • Give a brief overview of the artifacts that you have chosen to include in your portfolio. • For each artifact, write captions that describe and connect it to the project. • Share highlights from key Lesson plans. Include objectives and assessments.

  13. Project Reflection Write a narrative that answers the following questions… • What environmental issue(s) or community need(s) did the project address? • How did this project foster stewardship among participants? • How did you connect a local sense of stewardship to the stewardship of the Great Lakes bioregion. • How did this project connect to the unique socio-cultural history and identity of the school community

  14. Project Reflection (cont.) • What impact did your project have on goals identified in the the SEMIS Rubric. • What impact did your project have on knowledge, skills, and dispositions related to key MI GLCE’s or HSCE’s, and/or Common Core Standards? • How did the project meet the Student Learning Objectives identified in the project lesson plans? • How did you measure/assess this impact? What assessments did you use? Include links to key handouts, surveys, tests, assignments, etc.
