A portfolio may be used as 1 of the programmatic assessments but if the portfolio is used no part or product included in the portfolio may be used as another of the programmatic assessments. Programs may use portfolio “artifacts” as assessments, or the entire portfolio but not both. For example, programs may use a “lesson plan” that is included in the portfolio as the planning assessment (#3 in Option A (1) and the generated data, OR the entire portfolio, but may not use both the portfolio and the “lesson plan” individually to constitute one of the programmatic assessments included in the program submission.
If a portfolio is used ALL candidates must submit the same set of artifacts. For example, one candidate cannot choose to submit a “lesson plan” to demonstrate planning while other candidates choose to submit a “unit plan.”
