This week every student from the East Bay Met will have their digital portfolio assessed. The digital portfolio is a state requirement which allows students to upload and archive their best work to a web based portfolio hosted by www.richerpicture.com. The websites interface allows students to digitally archive their best work and for each piece of work that the students upload they can identify whether or not it meets the proficiency standards for the New Diploma requirements. Students’ work will also be assessed by two advisors from the school to see if in fact the student has demonstrated that they are proficient in the skills that they identify. The digital portfolio should become a useful tool for students to organize work and for our school community to develop some consensus around what is high quality, proficient work.
During the week students will be participating in six workshops. They will also have independent work time (iwt) for journaling, catching up on work, writing project proposals, and literacy. Every student in my advisory will be going to the YMCA in the afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Additionally every student that has an internship will be expected to be at their LTI on Tuesday and Thursday.
Also, on Friday students were given a packet of information to bring home regarding the budget for next year. The packet includes a cover letter, a letter to Gov. Carcieri, a petition form, and a list of e-mail addresses for RI elected officials. Please read the information and help us keep our funding so that the school can continue to grow over the next two years. Thanks!
