Student Growth Portfolios
What are student growth portfolios/portfolios for student
growth? What are the benefits and shortcomings of using them?
Student growth portfolios are used to keep artifacts to
document performance throughout a school year. Students also use the portfolio
to record goals for the school year. They are then able to use the portfolio as
a way to track progress. Teachers can use the portfolio at parent-teacher
conferences or for informal conferences with the student. The student can
choose what artifacts they would like to go into the portfolio. This is a way
to keep them actively involved in their learning and progress (McDonald, 2011).
Portfolios are great in theory but do require a lot of work to stay up to date
and relevant to student learning.
