Student Portfolio: A System for Documenting the Strengths, Needs, and Abilities of Students Who Are Deaf Blind.
Kansas State Board of Education, Topeka.
This guide was developed as part of a 4-year federally funded project designed to provide services to infants, toddlers, children, and youth with deaf-blindness in Kansas. The project included a pilot project on student portfolio development that documents longitudinally student accomplishments, needed adaptations, modifications, and accommodations, including transition to the next environment or postsecondary environments. The manual begins by describing a student portfolio as a collection of work that demonstrates the abilities, skills, and preferences of a student who is deaf-blind. Questions that students and team members should use in developing a portfolio system are presented, along with information on how to develop a student portfolio. The next three sections of the manual represent the major categories of a student's portfolio: student demographics, academic achievements, and life skills. Each section contains a list of suggested forms or products for describing the student within that particular area. Completed samples of many forms follow each list. Appendix A contains blank copies of all sample forms which can be copied and used for developing student portfolios. (CR)
