A professional portfolio and a foster care life book are not the same.
Both a professional portfolio and a foster care can help teens increase self-awareness and self-confidence. Both a professional portfolio and a foster care life book document a teen’s history, celebrate their achievements, and allow them to highlight their skills and abilities. Both are a meaningful recording of a teen’s life in his or her own words.
A professional portfolio chronicles a teen’s educational and workforce endeavors to give employers, recruiters, and scouts a complete picture of who they are and what their academic and employment capabilities are.
Here are5 things that may be found in a foster care life book that will not be included in a professional portfolio.
- A birth certificate
- A list of family members (biological and foster)
- Basic physic features (height, weight, etc.)
- Permanency Plan
- Medical information
