Competency-Based Learning Strategy:
Create Portfolios with Learners
NOTE: This strategy is part of the self-paced Design Performance-Based Assessments
Portfolios are student-curated collections of work that include a self-reflection on progress over time and why that piece was selected to include in the portfolio. Portfolios can take a digital form in websites or a school’s LMS or can be collected in folders or binders. Building a portfolio fosters student self-reflection skills and provides them a space to show growth over time. Families can also use portfolios to see their child’s favorite pieces of work.
