Description
Summary:This article describes the ways two second grade teachers implement portfolio assessment in their classrooms. It emphasizes multiple purposes for evaluation such as judging performance and progress toward predetermined goals, providing responses that help children identify, clarify, and progress toward self-selected goals, and generating narrative accounts of students as self-aware learners. The article also suggests that portfolio use can have a direct influence on teachers' instructional practices and beliefs.
