Portfolio Development (Lifework Portfolios)

A portfolio is a tool used to gather and record information about students’ abilities, interests, and learning styles. It is beneficial to collect examples of student work over time and across subject areas. The work that is collected should be both teacher-generated and student-generated, and each item should contain student reflection. Portfolios should be reviewed and updated regularly, providing an accurate student portrait. They are not limited to in school activities – students and families can work on this outside of school as well.
