Portfolios are an excellent way to collate your 'evidence of learning'.
A portfolio of evidence will show yourself, your teacher, your parent/care-giver and even your employer, just how well you have done with the task, or even with a whole course or school career. Use them to show, as well as tell, a teacher or a potential employer how organised and task-oriented you are!
A portfolio is a purposeful collection of work and information that:
-
represents an individual's efforts, progress and achievements over time

-
is a tool for facilitating life-long learning and career development
