Adam EschbornI'm considering using student portfolios in my Algebra 2 class next year. Has anyone done this? Any advice?

Sam Shah@druinok @eschy12 I didn’t really … I did some Portfolio stuff in the pandemic but never blogged about it - but it wasn’t about metacognition. but there were a bunch of people who did. I know @jclevelandtran has done it. And I know there were bunches of others but I am repressing them now. Maybe @ablinstein ?
James Cleveland-Tran🏳️🌈@eschy12 @samjshah @druinok @ablinstein I have a blog post about how I did them when I first started in 2015 (so long ago!) - https://jclevelandtran.com/2015/03/30/sop-portfolios/
Writing an updated post about my more recent versions has been on my To Do list for a while. I should get to that.
Anna Blinstein@jclevelandtran @eschy12 @samjshah @druinok Please do! This is something I used to do way more in the past - reading over my old blog posts made me realize how much I've forgotten and all the things I used to do 😞 I'd love some fresh ideas and inspiration to dig back in.
@ablinstein @jclevelandtran @eschy12 @samjshah I feel that about reading old blog posts! Sometimes I don't recognize myself!
@jclevelandtran @eschy12 @samjshah @druinok Ooh found more portfolio resources from @geoffkrall while looking for something else: https://emergentmath.com/2021/05/12/interest-in-a-virtual-math-portfolio-assessment-cohort-for-2021-2022/ Scroll down for a series of blog posts Geoff wrote about creating a portfolio system.
Geoff@ablinstein @jclevelandtran @eschy12 @samjshah @druinok I wrote a "how to" article for MTLT's Ear to the Ground journal a few years ago. https://pubs.nctm.org/downloadpdf/journals/mtlt/113/7/article-pe8.pdf?pdfJsInlineViewToken=297432973&inlineView=true
If you can't access it, let me know and I can email it to ya!
@druinok @eschy12 @jclevelandtran @ablinstein oooh one more thought. I remember Cindy Reagan had a great talk at a conference on writing /journaling in the math classroom and it was awesome. I just googled trying to find something and saw she gave a global math department talk on it… it might dovetail well with your thinking https://www.bigmarker.com/GlobalMathDept/Thinking-About-Your-Thinking-Writing-Math
Thinking About Your Thinking: Writing + Math
Journals, self-evaluations, writing prompts, reflections, and written goals helped improve my students’ critical thinking skills, metacognition, self-awareness, and engagement. I’ll share strategies and examples - and I’d love to discuss how to help you start, or grow, this process in your class.
@samjshah @druinok @eschy12 @jclevelandtran I did blog a bit about incorporating reflections into the classroom http://borschtwithanna.blogspot.com/2017/07/?m=1 Carmel Schettino has researched and written a lot about metacognitive writing https://www.carmelschettino.org/research/metacognitive-journaling/
Jami Danielle Packer@samjshah @druinok @eschy12 @jclevelandtran @ablinstein Megan Dubee presented on hers at a TMC once. I’m not sure if she is on here. Here’s that presentation: http://twittermathcamp.pbworks.com/w/page/127730301/Portfolios%20to%20Enhance%20Metacognition%20in%20Students%20-%20Megan%20Dubee
