Reading about the many examples has inspired me to begin this implementation with my teachers. However, I realize the vitality in being cognizant of not enforcing the initiative by a 'top-down' approach, as I'm currently taking a class on implementing change. Instead, I think a better approach would be for me to begin by having discussions about electronic portfolios with a few teachers...(some that are 'go-getters' and perhaps with some of the 'resisters'). If and when, I'm able to gain 'buy-in' from the select teachers, then, I can begin to implement the use of student electronic portfolios. I believe showing teachers examples of how student e-portfolios are used will also spur interest and motivate them to try them.....
Most importantly, I want to begin the process slowly, offer support, as well as help sustain the reform through providing training, funding, on-going support and by recognizing their efforts and successes!
