More and more,
schools are looking to student portfolios as a valid, reliable,
and authentic form of assessment. This collection offers practical,
well-researched answers to a variety of philosophical, organizational,
and implementational questions surrounding portfolio assessment.
Articles in the first section provide a rationale for student portfolios
and address initial concerns teachers have when exploring portfolios
as an assessment tool. Chapters in the second part focus on the
practical concerns related to implementing portfolios in the classroom,
and on the varied aspects of this process, including the role of
technology. Articles in the third section center on the
reflective sharing of portfolios and its important place in the
assessment process. The articles are as follows: (1) "Setting
Standards for Students: The Case for Authentic Assessment"
(Linda Darling-Hammond); (2) "Portfolio Assessment and the
New Paradigm: New Instruments and New Places" (Brenda S. Engel);
