Portrait of a Graduate: Student Portfolios

Overview

Our Portrait of a Graduate add-on allows students to document skill growth through evidence called artifacts, organize that evidence into portfolios, and share their work.  

This article is intended for teachers who are guiding students in creating portfolios for their school's Portrait of a Graduate, or similar framework. 

Students must log in to Wayfinder to upload artifacts. To do so, they can open Google Chrome and go to app.withwayfinder.com. If your school uses Google, Clever, or ClassLink and your System Administrator has confirmed that students are rostered in Wayfinder, they can log in using the appropriate Single Sign-On (SSO) button on the login page. Otherwise, students may have received an email invitation at their school email address, which will allow them to create a password to log in.
