portfolio assessment  

Definition

  • Portfolios are systematic collections of students' work samples over time and may contain materials that focus on particular content areas (i.e., math or language arts), or they may take in materials from across students' school experience (i.e., math and language arts). They serve multiple purposes and are used to highlight students' best work, document their achievements, and evaluate their level of performance.
