Audience: Educators, administrators
Key Points:
Student Portfolios are one type of assessment tool that can be used very effectively. The movement at this time has been away from traditional paper and pencil assessment and into alternate forms of assessment such as teacher observation, projects, essays, and other more creative ways of evaluating student achievement.
While portfolios remain quite popular in education coursework there is one common reason teachers forego the use of portfolios and that is that they are a very subjective form of assessment.

Relevance:
Looking at different types of assessment and how they fit students, teachers and curriculum. The portfolio is not the easiest type of assessment to implement, but it can be a very effective tool. Portfolios show the cumulative efforts and learning of a particular student over time. They offer valuable data about student improvement and skill mastery.
