Summary |
This book is Carol Porter and Janell Cleland's chronicle of three years of experimentation with portfolios. Their honest portrayal includes not just their successes but also their mistakes - all of which allowed them to learn with their students as they discovered the value of portfolios as a tool for reflection. Portfolios, to them, help students learn about themselves as learners. The text looks in depth at the curricular and instructional framework of a student-centered classroom. Learning strategies are described in detail and illustrated with student samples that demonstrate firsthand how portfolios can assist students in reflective self-evaluation.--BOOK JACKET. |
