Portfolio

I feel as though portfolios are great to use in a classroom with students. Portfolios help students to keep track of their work. It is a collection of a students work over time and it presents the students best work. Also students get to demonstrate their educational growth. The only thing that is bad is some students do not get to show their progress because some teachers dictate students and tell them what should be in their portfolios. Portfolios are great because they help the students as well as teachers and parents who look back at the work and they see what things were wrong and their best work at the end. They show students the importance of them. Portfolios help to make assessment easier. Students work is in order from beginning to end and it makes it easier for teachers and students to evaluate it. Also parents can look at their child's work and know where the grade is coming from. I like Portfolios and would not mind having it in my classroom.
