We're glad to see you are interested in information regarding Ohio's ABLE Portfolio System. Hopefully, you will review this information with someone who has attended a face-to-face training so that you have a clear understanding of the purpose and use of this material. The electronic documents you are reviewing are some of the materials included in statewide trainings entitled Connecting Policy and Practice: A Guide to the Revised ABLE Portfolio System.

• Current edition of the Portfolio: Connecting Policy and Practice handbook
• Agenda for training
• Power Point for training
• Reflection chart for participants
• Scripts for two role plays: one on initial conferencing and the second on conferencing to choose portfolio materials
• A sample Standards Based Education (SBE) learning plan
• A checklist for benchmarks by content
• A checklist for benchmarks by components
• Student reflection sheets

This electronic file does not include the packet of material used in the required training for the group activity of sorting appropriate documents for inclusion in a sample portfolio. This was known as the "blue folder" and "red folder" during trainings. The blue folders had miscellaneous examples of student work and were collected by the trainer after the activity. The "red folders" (which contained only the samples of student work that should be in a portfolio) were given to those who attended the face-to-face trainings. If you need a copy of either of these folders, we will be happy to send a set to you.

Please feel free to contact us at with any questions regarding these materials or implementation of the portfolio system.

Sincerely,

NW ABLE Resource Center Training Staff
