Student Portfolio- An Effective Assessment Tool
Course Description
This 2-hour online course supports school teachers (K–12) to design, implement, and assess student portfolios as part of classroom and school-wide assessment practices. Through four interactive sessions, teachers explore the purpose and types of portfolios, see concrete examples for different subjects and grade levels, and learn practical strategies to manage challenges such as time, criteria, and technology.
