** Standard 7 ** The teacher organizes and plans systematic instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, pupils, the community, and curriculum goals. Evidence 1: Lesson plan Electronic Portfolio
 * Teachers are able to plan different kinds of lessons. **

Rationale 1: This lesson was developed so students have a way of communicating their career work into a techno-savy portfolio. Students enrolled in HERO coop and Health Occupations are required to produce resume`s, cover letters and showcase personal examples of leadership, volunteerism and school activities, etc.

KSD I developed this idea a few years ago when burnable CD’s came out on the market so that students had a way of showing employers who are techno-savy—their work ethic and abilities. Before this time, students made a typical portfolio using a 3-ring binder and page protectors. Students are given the resources needed to showcase their aptitudes and interests using the technology available at their school or home. What has been my experience is that students who excell in class are able to incorporate the eportfolio easily into a finalized product leaving me with time to devote to helping other students learn despite the learning differences and performance levels. Short term goals and long term goals are a part of our curriuculm in Family & Consumer Science Education. Since I have both of these classes for the entire year versus just a semester, I must plan out according the short-term objectives and the long-range objectives so that my short term helps the students build on earlier learning for the long term.
