Portfolio

Description

A portfolio is a curated collection of a student's work that demonstrates their learning progress, achievements, and skills over time. It typically includes a variety of materials such as written assignments, projects, reflections, and assessments. Portfolios can be physical (in a binder or folder) or digital (stored online), and they often showcase a student's best work, highlighting their strengths and areas of growth.

Use

Portfolios in education are tools for assessment and self-reflection. They allow students to showcase their progress and achievements, while teachers use them to evaluate development over time. Portfolios also help students set goals, identify areas for improvement, and are especially useful in subjects like art, writing, and project-based learning.
