Implementation Outline
ePortfolio
My implementation plan offers a detailed outline of how to implement eportfolios in my class. You will find a step-by-step plan I propose to execute over the next 24 months. My students will have the opportunity to develop an eportfolio to track progress on their journey to learn to read. My goal is to allow my student to learn to their maximum potential while using technology as a tool.
I. Research (July - October 2023)

Administration- Would you allow me to implement my innovation plan?

Teachers- Would you consider learning with me and implementing my plan in your classrooms?
-
Students- Would you use a growth mindset and take ownership of your eportfolio to develop your learning?
-
Parents- Would you support your child’s learning with the electronic portfolio?
