Portfolios Portfolios A portfolio is a collection of varied materials that show what one child has learned, experienced, and accomplished. It can be kept for each grade or updated to display the most recent level of proficiency. The end product can then be presented in a folder or binder.
Portfolios can be an alternative or an addition to transcripts for the college admission process.
Most public colleges do not take them, however. Then the portfolio can be broken down chronologically by highschool years or by subjects covered. Another option would be to arrange personal data first, followed by general school information, then samples of work, and end with the student composition of goals. Binders with clear page covers are popular for assembling a portfolio. Computer generated captions add continuity to the pages, no matter whether they're just photostatically reproduced or computer scanned.
