These days most of what you hear about is the portfolio. Do we really need to have a portfolio? Yes and no. We can get by without one, we don’t really have to stress it, but I do think that it would come in handy later on in the students school life. As teachers we do not have to add something in the students portfolio every week. I think that in the portfolio we can pick the students best works and maybe a few that could use a little work to show how the student has improved throughout the years. Current teachers, future teachers, counselors, parents, and even the student themselves can have access to the portfolio and see how the student has improved and maybe discover other things that the student could improve on and become a better student. Even if we don’t have portfolios we can still do the same things. Instead of keeping a professional portfolio students can keep up with work using Word or even blogging.
