The Development and Use of Literacy Portfolios for Students, Classes, and Teachers.
Valencia, Sheila W.; Calfee, Robert
Applied Measurement in Education, v4 n4 p333-45 1991

Portfolio assessment is a valuable complement to externally mandated tests, but technical issues must be addressed if the portfolio movement is to survive. Portfolios must be linked to the broader task of instructional improvement. (SLD)
