Help!  As a part of school reform in Oregon, each student will be required
to maintain a portfolio that demonstrates they have mastered a variety of
skills. In elementary and middle school, each student has a home room or
advisory teacher who stores the portfolios, and who helps the students
update them. At Tualatin High School, we do not have a system in place to
handle this process, and we have a group of incoming freshman who are
bringing portfolios from their middle school next fall! There has been talk
of storing the portfolios in the media center because "librarians know how
to organize things and have storage space." (I knew we were good for
something.)
 
Are there any high schools out there (especially in Oregon) that have come
up with an answer to this problem? (If you are from Oregon, you will
recognize that I am talking about the portfolios that students need to have
to earn their Certificate of Initial Mastery.) I have already searched on
AskERIC, but did not find a great deal of information about storing this
type of portfolio for every student in the  school. PLEASE if you have any
brilliant (or even dim) insights, I would love to read about them. Please
reply to me individually, and I will post a HIT if people indicate that
they are interested and if I get some replies. My e-mail address is:
