What did you learn? These are the questions you will ask yourself – and answer – through completion of a portfolio of prior learning. The portfolio is organized so you– and evaluators – can move logically from one section to the next. It organizes and showcases your learning, in a way that allows college faculty to see your learning as college level and award credit for it. The contents of the portfolio, in order of presentation, are
Think of the portfolio as a stool with
three equally important legs. The stool tells evaluators
where you have been, where you are going, and how you
expect to get there. The “informational leg” includes
the official evaluation, curriculum planning sheet,
experiential résumé, introduction/goal
statement, and learning assessment worksheet; the “explanatory
leg” is contained in the targeted courses list and
academic narratives; and the “proof leg” contains the
documentation. Together, the entire portfolio “stool” supports
your claims for college credit. If one leg is weak,
the stool will not support the weight of your claims.
Make sure your stool is strong! |
