"Student Portfolios:  A Learning Tool" is an excellent book for teachers looking for a clear, organized and concise support package for creating student portfolios in the classroom.  The portfolio process is made easier with ready-made outlines, criteria overviews and summary sheets for both the student and teacher.  This book is a valuable tool for both experienced and new teachers alike!

    "The authors have demonstrated the value of authentic assessment, as well as provided a succinct and organized method of how to implement in the learning environment. We are in an age of learning, for students and teachers, and through authentic assessment instructors learn what their students need for further skills and program development. This is a phenomenal tool!"

Even a quick glance yields valuable tips and draws the reader in. This book will soon appear on teachers' desks across the continent."

      "This book encourages us to go beyond the teacher-directed file folder approach to portfolios by making them a collaborative assessment between the student and the teacher. This book addresses the 'what,' 'why,' and 'how' of the portfolio process with grade appropriate examples, clearly defined information, ready-to-use blackline masters, and Internet resources.  A must-have tool for the elementary school teacher!"
