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 ?
@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.
