Portfolio Assessment Portfolio assessment relies on authentic samples of genuine student work to evaluate achievement and performance. A portfolio is a collection of student work that shows progress and achievements. Portfolio assessment should include student participation in selecting the content, specific criteria for judging the content, and evidence of student self-reflection. Rubrics Rubrics provide guidelines for measuring achievement. Most rubrics describe the learning outcomes, give clear performance criteria, and provide a rating scale or checklist.
Some rubrics give examples as well.
Student Journals Student journals are most often personal records that discuss learning activities, experiences, strengths, interests and needs. Drafts and final copies are both acceptable. Video and Audio Video and audio records of student performance, achievement, and behavior provide helpful, valid assessment information.
