Evaluative Portfolios

This is the most commonly understood type of portfolio. An evaluative portfolio

permits the teacher to make an assessment of the student’s progress, both formative

and summative. The teacher uses the materials included to evaluate the student’s

developmental advances and needs for future growth and learning. The evaluative

portfolio is used for reporting to parents and administrators and for planning for

curriculum and instruction (Barbour & Desjean-Perrotta, 1998)

.Create an evaluative portfolio for children three- to five-years-old for each of the eight early learning standards: Social emotional, approaches to learning, language and literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, physical development/health/safety, and fine arts. Be creative and include the following:

1. Sections for each of the standards;
2. Two or more summative assessments for each standard; and
3. Two or more formative assessments for each standard.

Write a narrative of 750-1,000 words and include the following:

1. Description of the portfolio;
2. Explanation of how and why the assessments were chosen;
3. Explanation of how progress is measured on each assessment; and
4. Explanation of how this information can be conveyed to families
5. Use 5-7 scholarly resources
