This innovative book describes the implementation of student portfolios, an alternative method of evaluation in current United States teaching practice. The method requires students to: select samples of work to represent their achievements in a particular subject over an entire semester; discuss their reasons for selecting those pieces; and describe how they feel about their progress. The authors provide practical advice for teachers wishing to adopt or enhance this form of student evaluation.

Noting that many middle school teachers are challenged to use portfolio assessment in the midst of their other daily responsibilities and mandated activities, this monograph demonstrates how portfolio assessment can contribute to student learning, shows how teachers use portfolio assessment in their classrooms, discusses students' views of portfolio assessment, and presents unique uses for portfolios. Following an introduction on the "what" and the "why" of portfolio use, the book's chapters are: (1) "How Portfolios Enhance Learning" (Deborah H. Sherrill); (2) "Portfolios: Moving beyond the Scrapbook" (Ann Lockledge); (3) "Reflection Collection: Portfolios that Emerge from Advisory" (Barbara A. Smythe); (4) "Portfolios in a Writing Workshop" (Arlene M. Owens); (5) "Portfolios in Social Studies" (Ann Lockledge); (6) "Portfolios in Mathematics and Science" (Kathleen Lynch); (7) "Helping Students Make Selections from Different Areas" (Rhonda Evans Benton); (8) "What Students Say about Portfolios" (Deborah H. Sherrill); (9) "Students as Employees: Integrating Portfolios across the Curriculum" (Angela Joyner); (10) "Portfolios, Assessment, and a Curriculum Fair" (Arlene M. Owens); (11) "Developing Portfolio Assessment: A Team Effort" (Ann Lockledge); (12) "A Professional Portfolio as a Model" (Judith A. Hayn). Also included is a list of web links to portfolios and authentic assessment. (Contains 33 references.) (KB)

Measurement-based assessment has dominated our educational systems at the expense of the learning and the well-being of students and teachers. In this book, Gergen and Gill propose a radical alternative to this broken system, which is based instead on an inspirational conception of schools as sites of collective meaning-making and a relational orientation to evaluation. The authors acknowledge that it is within the process of relating that the world comes to be meaningful for us, and equally, learning and well-being are embedded in relational process, which testing and grades undermine. Providing detailed illustrations using cases from pioneering schools around the globe at both the primary and secondary level, this book demonstrates how a relational orientation to evaluation in education can enhance learning processes, foster students' engagement, vitalize relationships, and elevate the evaluation of teaching and the school as a whole. Featuring collaborative learning, dialogic pedagogy, and flexible curricula, relational evaluation truly speaks to the demands of a rapidly changing world.

New coverage of e-portfolios, using portfolios across the curriculum and outside the academy, and an updated bibliography make the third edition more indispensable than ever for teachers who use portfolios in their courses.

This volume presents chapters by researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who study the impact of classroom portfolios in the assessment of writing achievement by elementary and middle grade students. The focus throughout the volume is on the tension between classroom assessment and externally mandated testing. It presents the efforts of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to understand the impact of classroom portfolios for the assessment of writing achievement by elementary and middle grade students. Under the auspices of the Center for the Study of Writing, the editors conducted a national survey of exemplary portfolio projects, arranged for a series of "video visits," and held several working conferences. The result of this work is a broad-ranging tale: the aspirations of teachers and administrators to move the machinery of schooling in the direction of more authentic and engaging tasks, the puzzlement of students when they realize that the assignments are real and that the teacher may not have a "right answer" in mind, and the tensions between ivory-tower ideas and everyday classroom practice. Divided into four sections, this research volume: * provides a historical perspective, develops the conceptual framework that serves as a background for many activities described throughout, and discusses numerous practical issues that confront today's researchers and practitioners; * views the phenomenon of writing portfolios through a variety of broadview lenses such as teacher enthusiasm, student reflection, assessment tension, the portfolio as metaphor, and the locus of control; * conveys important conceptual issues with a balance toward pragmatics; and * offers unique insights from the perspective of one individual who serves as scholar, researcher, and teacher.

What do professional portfolios consist of? Who are their audiences? Why should teachers and administrators use them? How are they structured? In Capturing the Wisdom of Practice, Giselle Martin-Kniep answers these and other questions, drawing on her work with more than 3,000 teachers and administrators from 400 school districts. Through excerpts from actual portfolios, Martin-Kniep illustrates how to select a range of artifacts that will lead portfolio developers to evaluate and improve their work. She also discusses using portfolios for key purposes: learning, curriculum development and assessment, research, and staff development. Readers will find many practical strategies for building and using portfolios and learn what conditions are needed for success. "I am absolutely convinced," says Martin-Kniep, "that every professional who uses portfolios in a serious way will become a better teacher or administrator."
