Portfolio Project, The: A Study of Assessment, Instruction, and Middle School Reform
Author(s): Terry Underwood
The Portfolio Project is a study of one middle school's move into portfolio assessment practices in response to statewide policy changes in California. It chronicles the interactions of state, district, and local forces as teachers at a middle school work to implement a new portfolio assessment plan. Any teacher who has ever participated in curriculum reform will appreciate this detailed and honest portrait of teachers and students struggling to make sense in their writing classrooms of the pressures being brought to bear on their instructional and assessment practices.
