Portfolio assessment

A portfolio can provide individual attention to students’ needs. Looking at students’ work all at once can help teachers improve their lessons and include more targeted instruction after analyzing both students’ improvement and problems. It is essential that teachers make the purpose of the portfolio clear to the students and make the entire process engaging and meaningful to enhance the learning experience as it was found that students would like to use the portfolio for other purposes, such as for their professional development. Making the process and the purpose of the portfolio clear could help students learn the skills necessary to compile portfolios that they can use for future career development.
