Portfolio Assessment: A Handbook for Preschool and Elementary Educators

This book is a comprehensive guide for educators who want to begin using portfolios in their classrooms. Taking educators from the theory behind Portfolio Assessment through final implementation of assessment programs for children from infancy through elementary school, this book is a response to the trend toward using portfolios to reflect the development and learning of children more accurately, and to plan instruction that better extends the child's current level of learning and interests. Practical, step-by-step application supported by sound educational theory. Includes 50 pages of forms for teachers to use when implementing portfolio assessment. Sue C. Wortham, Ann Barbour, & Blanche Desjean-Perrotta with Peggy Apple and Sandy Enders. 1998. 156 pp. ISBN-13 978-0-871730-145-6
