| Title | Whatever happened to portfolio assessment? |
| Body | From the Summer, 2004 edition of Education Next http://www.educationnext.org/20043/ The article address is: http://www.educationnext.org/20043/72.html Quote: With the nationwide efforts to raise graduation standards and the increasing use of standardized testing, the idea of basing promotion and graduation decisions on portfolios of studentsÂ’ work has fallen out of fashion as swiftly as slide rules gave way to calculators. Some schools have tried to keep portfolios as a tool for classroom teachers, but even the most ardent advocates have acknowledged that samples of student work cannot compete with the ability of standardized testing to quickly and cheaply determine the overall performance of a school or a school district. |
