The students will be expected to choose an objective from a kid friendly list of objectives (core, arts, atlethics) that they want to master each quarter. They will document their objective in the correct section in their portfolio and track data that shows progress towards mastering their goal. They will include pictures of learning, rubrics, assessment results, and reflections.
Example, a first grader may choose the objective, "I know the sounds that letters make," from their Enlgish Language Arts Standards. Throughout the quarter, the student will take pictures or collect samples of activities, assignments, assessments, and reflections that relate to that objective. At the end of the quarter, the student will discuss the progress towards reaching their goal with teacher/parents. A new goal will be selected at the beginning of each quarter.
