Portfolios Across the Curriculum
by Donna Cole, Charles Ryan, Fran Kick, Bonnie Mathies
Want to learn how to make portfolios work without all the work? Learn how to use portfolios to increase student performance in the classroom. This updated, easy-to-read, step-by-step guide to using portfolios incorporates current teaching practices and technology. It provides an alternative method of evaluating student work that is painless and effective. A Corwin Press Bestseller on the issue of portfolio implementation and authentic assessment!
Teachers want to spend more time teaching and less time assessing. Traditional assessment practices are time-consuming and, too often, don’t reflect the total progress of a student. Portfolio assessment offers a more complete picture of your students’ progress and frees you to be more creative with your students. Portfolios Across the Curriculum and Beyond offers:
- Clear objectives to guide you through each chapter.
- Rationale for an alternative to traditional assessment practices.
- Portfolio guidelines by grade and subject.
- Technology for enhancing portfolio implementation.
- Document a more accurate, thorough and fair picture of what students are learning.

REVIEWS
“I found more support for the process approach that portfolios offer as well as practical advice I could apply when actually using portfolios.”
Anna Leahy, Assistant Professor
North Central College, Illinois
“A valuable resource of the types and uses of portfolios for teachers and teacher educators. Great examples and guidelines!”
Robert J. Drummond
University of North Florida
“…the authors succinctly define and describe portfolios for educators who know little about this recent ‘authentic assessment’ method. Concrete examples are given for using portfolios from grades 1-12 with some recommendations for a format with flexibility. One chapter describes the professional educator’s portfolio and suggests the benefits of keeping one. The strength of this slim volume is the simplicity with which basic and important information about portfolios is presented. A list of computer software resources and several pages of an annotated bibliography and references should prove valuable to teachers beginning to use portfolios as we as to those who already have some experience.”
Rosemary Chance, Ph.D.
Texas Woman’s University
“This volume is a real winner! Every teacher and school administrator should have a copy of this valuable book.”
Jerry Herman, College of Education
University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa
