Britney Spencer, an art education major, attended a February 2015 professional development on assembling senior portfolios. The key points she learned were how to assemble her senior portfolio, what professors look for, how to disaggregate data, and how to choose artifacts. While the topics did not directly relate to her art content area, she did learn software skills and how to analyze disaggregated data, which could help evaluate assessment effectiveness in her future classroom.

Please respond to the following prompts:
1. Summarize the key points you learned from this Professional Development experience. - How to assemble my senior portfolio. - What the professors are generally looking for. - How to disaggregate data. - What kind of artifacts I should attach, and how to decide between multiple artifacts. 2. Discuss how these key points connect to your content area. - This professional development was directly related to where I am currently in my education. I dont believe that it had much relevance to my content area, unless we presume that I may make a webpage for my classes at a later date. I did learn a lot about how to use the software, and how to disaggregate data. 3. Share how you might use this new information in your future classroom. - Again, I dont think I am going to use much of this classroom, but I will use it so I can graduate and make it into my own classroom. The information about aggregated and disaggregated data was rather helpful though. I can always use this information in my classroom to to find out how effective my assessments where. Being able to group my data in different way can help me determine the underlying cause of why the data turned out like it did. Laying it out is a group or linear fashion can help me recognize patterns or trends.
