Using Portfolios as an Additional Means of Assessing Written Language in a Special Education Classroom.
Richter, Susan E.
Teaching and Change, v5 n1 p58-70 Fall 1997
This study examined the advantages of using written language portfolios for authentic assessment in a third-grade special education classroom. Portfolios included data from students, teachers, parents, and the teacher's journal. Portfolios provided insights about how students thought about their writing, offered new understandings of parents' perceptions, and raised other teachers' expectations for the students. (SM)
