The Living Schoolbook

I am giving a presentation to a smallish group of 4 people today at FCMS. Here is the "teaser" provided on their site:

Portfolios can be used in a small classroom setting to organize and present a project or can span a student's entire education experience. The portfolio experience can be designed to be a highly structured guidance to scaffold students' learning/thinking or can be left as a blank canvas for students to form their own ideas and organize their own learning experiences. How will Syracuse University think about portfolios? Expect to engage in thoughtful conversation about portfolio evaluation techniques, scaffolding processes and types of portfolios.
