Portfolio Assessment
A portfolio assessment is like a "show-and-tell" of learning. Instead of taking a test, students collect examples of their work—like essays, projects, art, or presentations—over time in a "portfolio." This collection shows their progress, skills, and achievements. Teachers then review the portfolio to see how much the student has learned and grown. In short, it’s a way to assess learning by looking at real examples of a student’s work, rather than just test scores.
