Portfolio Process:

1. Students were able to access a clean copy of the OneNote Portfolio Notebook from the county

website for resources in developing an e-portfolio. The first page is a welcome page explaining the

vision of the portfolio process.

2. Under the TAB titled “Content Library” students had a separate page for each of the required

components within the portfolio; including explanations and resources for completion. (Letter of

Introduction, Resume, Letters of Reference, Community Service & Service Learning, Certifications &

Awards, Student Evaluations, an ‘Other’ section, and the scoring rubric.)

3. Students were given additional sections for work on their capstone projects and a place for

teachers to provide feedback and communicate with students if the notebook was shared to

monitor progress.

Process of Capstones

1. Students used the Capstone Outline to plan what essential skills they

would like to show, and possible artifacts and evidence they could gather

to best highlight those items.

2. Students used a shared OneNote notebook through Office 365 to work

collaboratively in collecting artifacts, photos, and developing explanations

to highlight their knowledge of the essential skills they have gained in their

programs.

3. After students gathered all of their information, they worked collectively

to copy those items into Microsoft Word, using Textboxes and formatting

to get a nice printout of their completed products.

4. Students created a cover page, table of contents, and final reflection to

accompany their project.

5. Students printed and placed in available report covers, attaching their

resume as the first page.

6. Students participated in a simulated Mock Interview Process on May 17th,

using their resumes and Capstones to highlight the skills they have gained

to become a successful employee.

Office 365: Staff Organization of Student Work

As a staff, we utilized the Office 365 Group feature to organize the files of student work that we wished

to maintain i.e. (Resumes, Capstones, Certifications, etc.) Each CTE Program was given a file folder

within the group to organize and store student work.

Mock Interviews

This is the rubric used to score students during the mock interview process; judges were also given a

folder with guidelines and sample questions to attempt consistency among interviewers.
