Portfolios

According to Barrett, A portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student's efforts, progress, and achievements in one or more areas. The collection must participation in selecting content, the criteria for selection, the criteria for judging merit, and evidence of student self-reflection. The three most common types of portfolios are: ◦ the working portfolio, which contains projects the student is currently working on or has recently completed; ◦ the display portfolio, which showcases samples of the student's best work; and, ◦ the assessment portfolio, which presents work demonstrating that the student has met specific learning goals and requirements.
