• What is a Portfolio

• Rick Stiggins (1994) defines a portfolio as a collection of student work that demonstrates achievement or improvement.
• Northwest Educational Regional Laboratory offers a similar definition:
• A purposeful collection of student work that illustrates effort, progress, and achievement.

A collection of students’ work, which demonstrates their skills and accomplishments.

• Therefore, a Portfolio is:

• A collection of students’ work, which demonstrates their skills and accomplishments.
• It is more than just a group of projects and papers stored in folders.
• It is used to demonstrate students’ achievements in one subject area or across the curriculum.
