Portfolio Assessment in an

Elementary School: A Model to

Facilitate Preparation

ABSTRACT

It is necessary for teachers to consider alternative means of evaluating their

students. One method proving to be effective for gathering and organizing

student productivity, growth, and development is the portfolio approach. This

article describes the Portfolio Assessment Preparation (PAP) Model that was

used to facilitate the use of student portfolios in an elementary school. The goals

of the model, the six steps followed, and the participants' responses to this

project are discussed. This article may serve teacher educators who are

preparing teachers to implement student portfolios in the elementary school as

a supplement or an alternative to the existing assessment and evaluation

programs.

The purpose of assessment is to gather evidence on student

performance in such a way as to facilitate learning experiences, to

ensure student capability, and to organize and enrich the

effectiveness of both the instruction and the curriculum program.

Assessment is defined as the process of observing, recording, and

otherwise documenting the work that children do and how they

do it as a basis for educational decisions that affect those children

(NAEYC/NAECS/SDE, 1991; Northwest Regional Educational

Laboratory, 1991; Grace and Shores, 1991). Whereas, evaluation is

the process of interpreting the data gathered during assessment

activities and making judgements and decisions based on the

evidence.

One of the general principles of assessment and evaluation is

that it should be an ongoing process (Gronlund and Linn, 1990).

Assessment and evaluation can help:
