A Case for Student-Created Portfolios in O&M
Perla, Fabiana; Maffit, Jamie
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v113 n3 p311-319 May-Jun 2019
"Student portfolios" have been defined as "a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student's efforts, progress and achievements in one or more areas" (Paulson, Paulson, & Meyer, 1991, p. 30). They are typically comprised of a careful selection of artifacts, documents, and reflections portraying a child's process of understanding and level of ability and knowledge relative to specific instructional goals (Jardine, 1995; Seitz & Bartholomew, 2008). Although student portfolios have been widely used for decades in the fields of education and special education, there is little mention of this educational tool in orientation and mobility (O&M) literature. This article describes the benefits of student-created portfolios in O&M and provides a brief beginner's guide to O&M portfolios.
