My Map
I will follow the following steps:
Step 1: Review portfolio assessment methods. I will refer to
assessment of Learning 2, 2007 by Santos, R. pp.63-75 and other
references.
Step2: Talk with at least 2 Resource Teachers and ask permission to go
over available learners portfolios.

Step 3: Classify the portfolio.

Step 4: Examine the elements and content of each portfolio.

Step5: Analyze my Observations.

Step 6: Reflect on my experience.

My Reflections
1. Have portfolios made the learning assessment process inconvenient? Is the
effort exerted on portfolio commensurate to the improvement of learning that
results from the use of portfolio?
