What Makes a Portfolio a Portfolio?
Paulson, F. Leon; And Others
Educational Leadership, v48 n5 p60-63 Feb 1991
Defines "portfolio" as an intersection of instruction and assessment and presents guidelines for using portfolios in self-directed learning. Portfolio assessment offers students a concrete way to value their own work. A portfolio is separate from a student's cumulative folder, conveys the student's activities, may have multiple purposes, and contains information illustrating growth. (MLH)
