Student Portfolios for Achievement Assessment
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper reviewing two articles on the use of student portfolios and including the writer's assessment of the articles. The use of the portfolio as an assessment tool can serve to strengthen weaker areas as one of the authors describes and it can provide a means by which a college student can gain an individualized program of learning. It is unlikely that the portfolio ever could become a primary means of assessment for a majority of students in any school because of the time and effort it requires on the part of those assessing student outcomes. For those settings in which it works, however, it provides a highly workable and meaningful alternative to standard assessment practices. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Student Portfolios for Use in Achievement Assessment
[ send me this essay ]
A 16 page thesis paper discussing the rationale for investigating portfolios for assessing achievement and determining placement in special education. The best known aspect of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA) is the individualized education program (IEP) as a base from which to ensure that each student receives the kind of educational approach he needs. Because every disability is as different as the children possessing them, it is critical that the child receive education appropriate to his condition. As more school districts lean toward full inclusion and the least restrictive environment, proper placement becomes a greater issue. Many disabled children perform poorly on standardized tests, and the existence of a portfolio gives solid evidence for the true level of achievement the student has reached. Bibliography lists 52 sources.
