  2. Rationale Provides for Authentic Assessment * application to real life * contextualized * multiple indicators Builder Constructs Knowledge * documenting relationships between experience & criteria

  3. Some Key Descriptors • open-ended • growth over time • self-directed • reflective • personally meaningful • documenting evidence • habits of mind • collaborative dialogue • process of inquiry • authentic

  4. Common Purposes • To track one's personal growth over time • Known as "developmental," "process," or "working“ portfolio

  5. Common Purposes To demonstrate to others what one has learned over a specified period of time, how one has engaged in the learning process, and how one has applied the learning/knowledge Known as "evaluation, "product, "presentation“ or showcase portfolio

  6. Common Purposes To provide to others an up-to-date portrait of one's knowledge, skills, and dispositions, and the competence with which one can engage these. Known as "interview,“ or "professional," "showcase“ portfolio

  7. Portfolio Components Clearly specified purpose and audience  Organizational structure reflective of the purpose Carefully selected evidence suited to the purpose  Reflections tying artifacts to learning to growth

  8. Characteristics of the Portfolio Process  Learning is expressed in personally meaningful, individualized, and creative ways Learning is collaborative
