STUDENT PORTFOLIO  - due April 29, 2005

WHAT IS IT?

A portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that tells the story of a student's personal self and a student's achievement or growth.   Portfolios may demonstrate a wide range of student work. Students control the selection of portfolio content and material.

Unlike standardized tests portfolios are direct indicators of a student's learning experiences. Portfolios allow teachers and parents to share real display of a student's performance without interpretation of test scores. Portfolios provide the customization of individual learning experiences and goals.

Comprehensive portfolios, maintained over a period of time, can exhibit comparisons of student work and illustrations of growth. Portfolios can grow and carry into the learners work life beyond the school environment. An increasingly self-reliant work force is evolving at an ever increasing pace. Today's technology allows portfolios to be one career tool for life long learners in today's workplace
