Sample Product Portfolio

Background:

Jane Goodman, a middle-level educator, teaches science to students in the seventh grade. As part

of a district initiative, all science teachers are implementing a lab-based curriculum. It is a pre-

scriptive curriculum that includes a teacher’s manual with lab procedures for the entire school

year (one concept per week for 28 weeks).

Purpose:

To document the implementation of the lab-based science curriculum across the district



Audience:

District science supervisor



Organization:

Notebook divided into 28 sections



Evidence:

Student work samples and lesson plans are included for each of the 28 sections.



Reflection:

Ms. Goodman writes a reflection at the end of each week and at the end of the school year.



Assessment:

The district supervisor reviews the portfolio. In addition, the supervisor interviews 

Ms. Goodman and holds small-group conferences with clusters of teachers. The portfolio is used

as the basis for these assessment activities. The results of these conferences, interviews, and port-

folio contents allow the district supervisor and teacher to set goals for the next year.

Using writing again, a teacher’s product portfolio could be developed to show the

implementation of the “writing process” in the classroom (steps including brainstorm-

ing, draft writings, editing, revising, and final draft of the written product). Imagine

that a district sets a goal that each teacher will use the writing process in his or her

classroom, regardless of the subject(s) taught. The purpose would be to show how a

teacher implements the writing process into day-to-day classroom activities, lesson

plans, unit plans, and student assessment methods. For example, each portfolio could

contain staff-development information, lesson plans, unit plans, and student work

demonstrating each step of the writing process and assessment rubrics or checklists.

Reflections would include descriptions of how the writing process was included in the

classroom, the strengths of and improvements needed for implementing the writing

process, and how changes would be made during the next lesson or unit. All portfolios

developed would be assessed using the same criteria, probably by the principal in 

this example.
