portfolio development

The portfolio development process covers the following stages (Danielson & Abrutyn, 1997)

Collection - save artifacts that represent the day-to-day results of teaching and learning
Selection - review and evaluate the artifacts saved, and identify those that demonstrate achievement of specific standards or goals.
Reflection - reflect on the significance of the artifacts chosen for the portfolio in relationship to specific learning goals.
Projection (or Direction) - compare the reflections to the standards/goals and performance indicators, and set learning goals for the future.
Presentation - share the portfolio with peers and receive feedback.
