o EXAMPLES: Showcase—represents students’ best work; reflective—facilitates understanding of various dimensions of student learning; cumulative—shows changes in student performance over time; goal-based—demonstrates progress or completion of preidentified goals; process— represents each element of a process with the last artifact being the final product.
• Establish portfolio organization and format.
o EXAMPLES: Organized by content areas, chronologically, or both; file folders, three-ring binder, videotapes, CD, webpage
• Select authentic products as artifacts for the portfolio.
o EXAMPLES: Written language samples, audio and video recordings, reports, artwork, classroom tests
• Create a caption statement for each artifact.

• Periodically review and evaluate the portfolios.
o EXAMPLES: Students present their portfolios to peers, teachers, parents, and/or other groups. Formally evaluate the portfolio using rubrics or other tools.
