Talent Portfolio

Michigan’s Public Act 231 of 2018 requires that any students in grade 7 will be required to develop a talent portfolio as part of their EDP process.  As with the EDP itself, students should also have the opportunity to review and revise their talent portfolio from grades 8-12, as appropriate.  A talent portfolio includes, but is not limited to, a record of the pupil’s experiences, proficiencies, certifications, or accomplishments that demonstrate talents or marketable skills.
