Stages in
Implementing
Portfolio
Assessment

of portfolio assessment
to your class
Portfolio assessment is a
new thing for many
students who are used to
traditional testing. For this
reason, it is important for
the teacher to introduce
the concept to the class.

3. Specification of
Portfolio Content

to be included in the portfolio –
both core and options (it is
important to include options as
these enable self-expression and
independence). Specify for each
entry how it will be assessed.
Assessment

4. Giving clear and
detailed guidelines for
portfolio presentation
There is a tendency for students to
present as many evidence of
learning as they can when left on
their own. The teacher must
therefore set clear guidelines and
detailed information on how the
portfolios will be presented.
Assessment

5. Informing key school
officials, parents and other
stakeholders
Do not attempt to use the portfolio
assessment method without notifying
your department head, dean or
principal. This will serve as a precaution
in case students will later complain
about your new assessment procedure.

the Portfolio
Support and encouragement
are required by both teacher
and students at this stage.
Devote class-time to student-
teacher conferences, to
practicing reflection and self-
assessment and to portfolio
preparation.
