TASK 15

How can we use portfolios to evaluate our students' progress?

A portfolio is a purposeful, meaningful collection of student work. It tells a story about a student�s developmental growth, achievements, and progress over time.
There are various purposes for portfolios, and the type of portfolio, its contents, and the audience for whom it is intended will vary.
Portfolios can be an important part of the assessment and evaluation process.
These tools also help students become more accountable, more independent, and more responsible for their learning.
Portfolios can assist in reporting, and can be used as a basis for conversation between the teacher, the student, and the parent.
Students can also take time to reflect on what they have achieved, what they are including in their portfolios, and the goals that they have set for themselves.
Portfolios can include a number of work samples that reflect the objectives of the curriculum, the students' processes and products, and self-evaluations
(including personal achievements and goals).
After a parent-student-teacher conference, parent comments can be added.
Teacher, student and parents can use portfolios as a continuous review of students' progress. Portfolios can help everyone see what the students know and can do, what they have learned, and what they need to learn.
With the portfolios, students will develop the habit of evaluating their own work and making decisions about how they can move forward because documents will change and grow with their owners, allowing them to take ownership and responsibility for their own learning.
