What are some different types of assessment portfolios?
A portfolio of best works provides a view of a student’s highest levels of achievement. This type of collection shows attainment of specific objectives or long-term goals. A portfolio of works over time permits assessment of progress. This type of collection enables stakeholders, especially students themselves, to see the progress made toward achievement of the TEKS. Preparing for portfolio assessment requires pre-planning, an understanding of the types of portfolios, and a thorough understanding by parents, students, and other stakeholders if it is to be successful.
