The "Assessment Portfolios" are primarily for formative assessment, and we would highly recommend that you do these, to have a record of your own work. Doing a portfolio is quite different from a traditional exam: portfolios should provide evidence of learning, and in particular evidence of having attempted to implement interactive techniques in the classroom, rather than being able to (e.g.) recite the principles of interactive teaching. | |||
In order to gain a certificate for the OER4Schools programme, teachers will be assessed. As part of this assessment, we would like you to prepare a simple portfolio, to be used for interim assessment. This portfolio should include your 3 “best” pieces of work (eg completed activity template, concept map, etc) from what you’ve done so far. These should be quality items that illustrate what you have learnt, and what you feel you have implemented successfully. | In order to gain a certificate for the OER4Schools programme, teachers will be assessed.
