Forms

Go on to Part 8

The Portfolio Content Analysis Form and The Portfolio Table of Contents illustrate possible ways of organizing contents. The forms can be filled out either at the beginning of the assessment period or as the portfolio is created. When the forms are filled out depends on the amount of flexibility in instruction and student input. Both forms show multiple evidences of progress toward the learning goals, which is necessary to attain reliability. Also each artifact and attestation is dated to show progress over time.
