You will find info on what to include in your Standards Artefact posts on the Education Portfolios Hub, including how to use Categories to organize your content.
Artefacts could include lesson plans, created learning resources, analysis of student performance data, annotated samples of student work, reflections on student outcomes and influence on teacher practice, assessment strategies, evidence of professional learning experiences and application to practice etc.
Examples of Artefacts/Evidence to add to your Portfolio:
- Records of children’s learning and development including both formative and summative assessment that reflect the five learning outcomes of the EYLF.
- Plans for learning and play experiences that respond to children’s diverse learning abilities.
- Plans for learning and play incorporating teaching strategies, principles and practices that specifically address an individual child’s learning interests and abilities.
- Records of learning and development that show an individual child’s learning journey.
- Plans for learning and play that include learning opportunities in routines and transitions.
- A cycle of planning that reflects links between what is observed about children’s learning and development. This would include analysis based on observations, planning to support learning and development, and evaluation of these plans.
- Further assessment and follow up that continues the cycle for each child would be evident.
- Critically reflective notes that inform future planning.
- Analysis of the effectiveness of teaching decisions, strategies and approaches to care routines.
- Critical reflection that demonstrates that a variety of teaching strategies are engaged and adaptations are made to enhance children’s learning in all domains.
- Plans for learning in a play-based curriculum that incorporate strategies to address the child’s interests and abilities.
- Notes from formal and informal meetings with parents / carers / families that informed planning.
- Notes from meetings with other professionals that informed planning and curriculum decisions.
- Evidence of collection of information for each child.

Ensure you annotate your evidence and artefacts to provide context:
- Why have you included this item?
- When/where/why did this occur?
- What was the impact on student learning?
- Personal reflections.
Formats to include:
