Using Student Portfolios for a Public Accounting.

LeMahieu, Paul G.

School Administrator, v49 n11 p8-15 Dec 1992

Since 1987, Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) Public Schools' Propel project has been using student portfolios to integrate assessment with learning and is now piloting portfolio assessment for public accountability. Unlike Vermont's system, which asks for students' best work, Pittsburgh's assessment reflects what the community typically expects from its students. A sidebar highlights ROPE, a Wisconsin high school's approach. (MLH)
