Student Portfolio

Students will create a portfolio demonstrating their best work in their best areas of theatrical production. Portfolios should include artifacts of student progress, and analytical and reflective pieces, and showcase a project from conceptualization through realization. Work from a student’s entire theatre career may be used.

There should be interim review and feedback given by the teacher throughout the project. The interim feedback may be informal or used for class grading purposes.

At the completion of the project, students will retain ownership of their portfolios with the intent that they will continue building and revising their portfolios throughout postsecondary and their careers.

This assessment has three parts:
o Part 1–Overview and Explanation
o Part 2–Artifact Collection and Self-Evaluation
o Part 3–Case Study
