The student's portfolio is a modern version of the assessment of the child's personal qualities according to the standards of the Federal State Educational Standard. Completing the sections helps form the habit of recording personal successes and achievements. Assessing the student's abilities gives an orientation to self-discipline and self-improvement in the future. Portfolio creation is a joint work of parents and students.

What is a student portfolio

A school portfolio is a folder that contains information about the personality, interests, activity, achievements and successes of a child in an educational institution and outside it. This document reflects the skills and abilities of students. The folder additionally includes information about close and family foundations.

What do you need

Already in kindergarten, children attend development centers, clubs, sports clubs and more. The main purpose of such additional classes is to teach the child the basics of literacy, reading and counting.

By the first grade, children have a characteristic level of knowledge and skills, and already in elementary school they achieve the first successes that should be noted.

The portfolio acts as a kind of archive that reflects the formation and development of the child's personality.

Often children like to revise the document, to observe their own achievements. This forms an incentive for self-development, a desire to move forward.

Ready-made portfolios act as documents for the teacher, which notify the teacher about the personality of the student, his abilities. Portfolio data is used for the final assessment of the student, and is taken into account when entering other educational institutions.

How to compose: sections with examples

The key to proper design is the preservation of the developed structure. In the process of studying, the portfolio is constantly updated with new information. The correct construction of the document allows you to get an idea of ​​the skills of students, to see the patterns and features of personality development.

There are no set rules for how a portfolio should look. However, there are some guidelines for the structure of the document. At the same time, it is advisable to cover only those sections that are suitable for a particular student. You can combine several chapters, supplement.

Title page

The title page indicates the main data about the student or student: last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, place of residence, contact numbers. The main page should contain a personal photo of the pupil. An important point is the independent choice of photos by students.

Autobiography

The autobiography describes the life path of a person before entering an educational institution. A short biography is written on an A4 paper sheet in free form in the first person. All information is presented in strict chronological order.

Highlights of how an autobiography is written:

• In the middle of the sheet, the name of the document “AUTOBIOSHIP” is indicated in block letters, then the main text follows below.
• The text begins with a personal introduction: "I, full name, date and place of birth." For example: "I, Ivanov Sergey Pavlovich, was born on December 12, 2011 in the city of Chekhov, Moscow Region."

My portrait

The “My Portrait” section consists of any information about the pupil that you want to directly reflect in the document.

For example, you can write about yourself by deciphering the meaning of the child's name.

A short story will help the teacher to choose the right techniques to adapt to the learning process.

In this section, the regime of the day is signed, you can talk about family traditions and foundations. The portrait looks spectacular if you make a family tree of family members.

Information about the study helps the teacher to properly distribute the load in order to avoid excessive overstrain of the pupil. The child can indicate favorite subjects, describe in which he is easily versed, and what is difficult.

How to arrange

There are no established standards or templates for how to design a school portfolio. However, there are recommendations on how to make a school format:

• A personal diary is printed in a Word in the form of an electronic document, which is subsequently printed out.
• Requires neat design in the same style (size, font, indent, line spacing).
• Portfolio sections are not numbered.
• Certificates, diplomas and other certificates confirming the achievements of the student are attached to the document.

A portfolio for a boy can be beautifully designed based on your favorite cartoon or movie (“Paw Patrol”, “Prostokvashino”, “Spider-Man”), and for girls - use blank pages with princesses.

However, it is important to consider that with age, the child's hobbies change, and he will lose interest in the original version. Therefore, it is advisable to design the document in a neutral style.

Filling out a portfolio means collecting information about a student that will be useful in the educational process. Subsequently, it will become a family heirloom. A completed questionnaire will help the child in choosing a future profession, teach him to evaluate his own knowledge, strive and achieve his goals.

An unusually pleasant and fascinating task is preparing a child for the first grade. Parents sometimes have to spend more than one month puzzling over what the future first-grader needs. And now the backpack is ready, you have already held a parent meeting of first-graders and met your child's teacher, but do not forget that the child will need a portfolio for grade 1. Recently, it has become fashionable to create a portfolio so that later there is something to remember. In addition, it is interesting and exciting for both parents and children to spend time together in a creative impulse. Take this assignment seriously.

Preparing a portfolio for grade 1

Portfolio preparation is the preparation of the future appearance of your child, so do not be stingy with time for this. First of all, go to a stationery store and get a beautiful folder for the taste of the child, but also for you to like. Paste about 100 blank solid files into the folder. Prepare A4 sheets, preferably dense, so that they do not deteriorate from water and felt-tip pens.

You also need to buy pencils, colored pens, felt-tip pens, glue, a ruler, an eraser, stickers, or a few magazines with beautiful pictures that you don’t mind cutting out. Portfolio, as a rule, consists of 2 sections, they, in turn, are divided into several subsections, each of which has its own theme. All portfolio sheets are framed in a beautiful frame and optionally decorated with pictures or stickers. The main thing is brightness, colorfulness and creativity.

What will the portfolio look like?

A feature of any children's portfolio for grade 1 is colorfulness, brightness, absurdity of lines and shapes. Do not skimp on different colors and pictures. In the future, perhaps this will become a favorite book of the child. After all, without exception, from the age of three, everyone loves books with pictures and bright colors.

Building a portfolio is a great way to develop creativity and imagination. Tell your son or daughter that this is a “magic” book that you will start now and will gradually add to. Do not be afraid, the child will be very interested in adding leaflets to a new book. Interest will not be lost, especially if you help fill in the pages, if you come up with new achievements and stories for the pages together.

What is the most interesting book in the world? A book about myself! Therefore, the child’s interest will not fade away, and even after a year it will be interesting for him to turn the pages, see how small he was a year ago, read what achievements he made in a year and what new things he still has to learn and add to this book. In it, the child will add all, without exception, moments of creativity and personal growth.

Title page

No book is complete without a title page. The title page of a portfolio for grade 1 is a peculiar face and character of the entire book about a child. Readers, without exception, should, when looking at the title page, develop not only the image of the child, but also the image of all family members who took part in the work on the book.

Never clutter the title page with information. To do this, you can make another subsection inside, where everything is detailed and colorful. But from the first impression of the work, by looking at the very content of the work and the appearance of the title page, readers should immediately find out who owns such a plump and colorful folder, how old he is and where he lives and studies. And, of course, it will be nice to place a photo of the owner of the book on the title page.

Although it is customary to design the title page on a computer, let the child make a small contribution to the most important, first, page. The child can draw a little sun or a bunny, a cat or someone else. Or maybe he will leave his colored fingers on the title page. Let the child also get involved in creativity from the very first sheet. To summarize, the first, title page is a brief and concise description of the owner of the portfolio folder. It contains a photo of a first-grader and data on where he studies and where he lives.

Portfolio first section

Next, the portfolio begins with an introductory section, where there is a short story about yourself. Here are all kinds of photographs, postcards, congratulations and parting words to a first-grader, a short story about your family and your child's favorite activities. Here the child gives an explanation about his name, and maybe a story about why mom and dad gave him that name. Attached is a photo of the whole family.

On the next sheet, the child can draw his portrait and a picture of his family. It would be interesting to devote the next sheet to fingers and heels. The child circles his hand and leaves traces of colored heels. One more sheet can be given for the description of the sign of the zodiac and the sign according to the eastern calendar. Let the child write what he thinks and how he associates himself with his sign. Be sure to dedicate one sheet of the first section to the daily routine. But only if the child really has a developed regimen that he observes. But if not, then just write about your activities during the day.

Be sure to take a whole subsection under the child's hobbies and hobbies. Gradually, the collection of hobbies may change, crafts will increase, then you will already have your own separate folder for them. And write down how it all started.

The next subsection is "My Comrades". Have the child write a short story or a story about how the guys spend time together. Support the story with interesting and lively photographs. Be sure to make a subsection "My small homeland" or "Hometown", in which you describe the sights, some facts from the history of the city and the child's favorite places. And on the next page, draw a diagram or map of the route to school from home.

Attach a photo of the school. Write a short story about the school, attach a photo of the director and the baby's first teacher. Better yet, add a place with a photo of a child at a desk on September 1, if you have one in your collection. After the photo of the class teacher, you should also talk about the class itself, give a list of students. If someone lives nearby, then talk about whether you go home and to school together.

Insert a beautifully designed lesson schedule, although this is not at all necessary, you can keep as a keepsake how lessons and subjects have changed and added over time. You can immediately prepare templates for the schedule for subsequent years of primary education. And complete the section with a mini essay “My future profession”, in which the child will write what he wants to be when he becomes an adult.

The second section of the portfolio

The second section of the Portfolio, as a rule, is devoted to various achievements and creative victories of the child. It is filled in gradually, and at the initial stage, subsections are being prepared: “My success at school”, “My best homework and creative work”, “My achievements”, “My awards”, “School events”, “Creative reading”, “Hobbies and activities outside the classroom” and “Wishes and feedback”. Each of these pages is made in the same style so that the whole book is saturated with a common idea.

Gradually add successes in different school subjects to the folder, fill out sheets with control, homework and test work. Supplement with reports and excellently completed assignments, drawings, photographs. Make a table on one of the sheets showing the development of reading, writing and counting skills. Draw graphs and keep performance statistics. It will be nice to see small victories later.

Collect photos from children's matinees and holidays, various competitions and open lessons. Add photos from excursions and trips, but do not forget to write about what kind of holiday or tea party it was, when it was, and who took part in it. Maybe the child told a poem, then be sure to write down the words. And if you performed a song, then write down the lyrics.

Be sure to include information about what your child does outside of school. Even if he just helps you in the garden or helps you replant houseplants, be sure to write it down. It will not be difficult for you, and the child will give self-confidence. Write down all the works (author, title, summary, pictures) that read kid. Write down also what the child himself liked in the fairy tale or story. And what did he get out of it?

At the end of the section, as in many other printed publications, place wishes, postcards, parting words from grandparents in a folder. Save the characteristics of the child, which the teacher will write. And the kid himself can write here his wishes to teachers and other children. And then the children can exchange wishes with each other. In conclusion, I would like to say that parents may even like this task even more. In addition, it is pleasant to spend time with the baby and also acquire a joint exciting business.

Interaction with parents

Most parents, being confident that a portfolio will definitely help when entering a university, are very painstaking about filling it out, and some are convinced of this by teachers, creating motivation to create a portfolio for their children.

It is very important to make parents your allies in the difficult task of collecting a portfolio. Therefore, initially it is worth attracting active, caring parents. A system of advisory assistance is needed: consultations, seminars on designing and filling out portfolio pages.

It is important to teach to observe, to notice everything new and interesting and by all means to fix, write down. With the help of a portfolio, parents see their child from the outside, his desires, interests.

The portfolio can also be used as additional material when studying a family - its way of life, interests, traditions. Observing children and their parents in the process of creating a portfolio, teachers noted that such events contribute to the establishment of warmer relationships in the family.

One of the main results of working on a portfolio is that parents learn to observe and notice the changes taking place, to systematize them. Some help can be provided by memos, questionnaires, based on which parents can highlight especially bright and interesting moments in the development of their child.

The word “portfolio”, which is still incomprehensible to many, is firmly entering our lives. Now it accompanies a person from early childhood. We will try to tell what it is and why a student needs it. The term "portfolio" itself came to us from the Italian language: portfolio in translation means "folder with documents", "specialist's folder".

When to start building a portfolio?

In recent years, the practice of designing a student's portfolio has become widespread. Today it is mandatory in many educational institutions. Even preschool institutions are introducing into their work activities to collect the success of the child. The first-grader already needs to start designing his folder of achievements. Of course, it is very difficult for a child who is studying in elementary school to do this on his own, so more often the preparation of this folder is done by parents. Parents' questions and surprises are quite natural, because at one time they did not encounter such a requirement. In our article we will try to answer the question of how to make a portfolio for a student.

Why does a student need a “folder with documents”, and what should be in it?

Tracking all the successes and results of any activity of the child is a good practice, because it helps adults to reveal the versatility of the child's personality. Yes, and it is important for a small person to be aware of his first achievements in order to develop further. Information about the child, his family, surroundings, academic success at school, certificates and diplomas received for participating in various school and extracurricular activities, photographs, creative works that show the knowledge, skills, skills of the child - all this is a kind of presentation of skills, interests, hobbies and abilities of the child. The collected information will be useful when moving to another school or further choosing specialized classes and when entering a higher educational institution. The main goal of the primary school student's portfolio is to reveal all the advantages of the child and reveal his inner potential through a structural collection of his work, grades and achievements. This helps to form a child's motivation for activity, teach him to set goals and achieve success.

Portfolio is a creative product

Having decided to start designing a portfolio of a 1st grade student, you first need to think through its components, decide which sections or chapters will be included in it, what they will be called. Very often, primary school teachers prefer a uniform structure for all students, and therefore, informing you that you need to draw up a portfolio, at the same time they will offer its approximate plan. In this case, parents do not have to puzzle over the components on their own. By and large, a student's portfolio is a creative document, and not a single regulatory act contains clear requirements for it prescribed by the state.

Every parent understands that the first grade is an important period in a child's life: getting to know teachers and classmates, gradually growing up and increasing independence. Moving from kindergarten to school, where everything is new and unusual, the child experiences a little stress, the student's portfolio helps to quickly get used to the new place. The sample of its compilation may vary depending on the class and school, but it must contain information about the child and his parents (legal representatives), about his hobbies and hobbies. All this data will help children quickly find new friends and common interests with classmates, and it will be easier for the teacher to organize the learning process and conversations with children.

General form - individual content

Each school or even each class can develop its own student portfolio, a sample of which will be offered by the teacher to children and parents, but still this folder is something like a “visiting card” of the child, and therefore it should reflect his personality.

Template selection

Children will not be interested in simple sheets, notes, photographs, they will be much more attracted to a cheerful colorful design. Therefore, to begin with, select templates for the student's portfolio that can be easily found today. And then, together with the child, choose the appropriate one. If you couldn’t find anything you need, then you can create a template yourself that will best meet your plan. Not every parent will be able to create a template on their own, and even if they cope with this task, they will have to spend a lot of time. That is why ready-made templates for student portfolios, which can be edited quickly and easily, are so popular.

Characters adored by children can be used in the design. Boys, for example, love cars. Portfolios with racing cars are just right for those who love racing and speed. Girls prefer princesses or fairies as a design element. It must be remembered that pictures with your favorite characters should not distract from the content, their role is to tune in a positive way when opening a folder.

What to tell about yourself

The first section of a primary school student's portfolio usually includes personal information. This is the title page, where the name, surname are indicated, and a photograph of the child is placed, which he must choose himself. Also, this section may include an CV, a story about yourself, a list of long-term and short-term study plans. The child must be involved in filling out, encouraging his initiative. Let him write about the qualities of character that he has, about his favorite activities and hobbies, talk about the city in which he lives, about relatives and friends, about those he is friends with, about his first or last name, about school and class . You can also write a dream about what the student wants to be when he grows up. The student can even place the routine of the day he follows. He should describe everything he is interested in and what he considers important.

The child, filling out the folder, can make small discoveries - for example, read for the first time about the origin of the name and surname.

Describing your world is not easy.

The first part may have its own subsections. Perhaps they will be included in the finished student portfolio, which you will create yourself, taking into account the individuality of the child. If your child is passionate about reading, create a section called "My Favorite Books". Passion for nature can be reflected in the "My Pets" part.

The portfolio is not filled out forever, it will be replenished and changed over time. If a child writes answers to the question “What can I do and love to do”, then by the fourth grade the information entered by the first grader will definitely lose its relevance. Therefore, regular filling work at least several times a year will bring more benefits.

Section of successes and achievements

If the child has already accumulated letters and diplomas received for participating in various school competitions, then parents have no choice but to make a portfolio for the student. You can place them in chronological order or divide them into sections, for example, "Success in studies" and "Merit in sports", although all his accomplishments are important for a younger student. This part will contain information relating mainly to studies and creative activities. These data will be replenished gradually over the years of study at school.

In the achievement of a first grader, you can attach the first prescription, a successful drawing or application.

If the event the child participated in was covered by the media, newspaper clippings or web pages with the message can be printed for the student's portfolio.

Children choose their own classes and attend classes in circles, sections and clubs. Information about them can also be taken out in a separate section. There may be information about the institution that the student attends.

How do I learn?

Educational activity, as the main one in the life of a child of primary school age, should be given a separate section. There may be not only a table like a school report card, but also successfully completed test papers, the first notebooks, a sheet with the first five. Reading metrics can also be included here.
