Portfolio Evaluation

Sir Winston Churchill Cooperative Education Department
Cooperative Education Portfolio Presentation

In Essence, the Portfolio presentation is a oral and visual summary of what the cooperative education student was involved in and what skills/abilities were acquired as a result of their time at their cooperative education placement. Presentation mediums vary for each student. Many students use a three panel presentation board plastered with large pictures, brochures, graphs, and primary documents, which help explain what activities they were involved in while at their placement. Some students use video tape footage, web sites, and overhead transparencies. In some semesters students who were apprentice chefs made pizzas for the cooperative education class or did a hair and cosmetic make over for volunteer students.
Specific presentation dates will vary also but normally the presentations will take place during the last reflective learning period in the last two - three days of the semester. Students in semester 1 cooperative education classes have the option ; with teacher approval, to present during the Grade Eight Open House.
Keep in mind that the Portfolio presentation must have a large visual and oral component. The evaluation rubric is provided below to indicate how you can achieve 100% on this compulsory aspect of the cooperative education course. Written Presentation
