While Research on the effectiveness of electronic portfolios for assessment and accreditation is emerging, many who are now using, or who are beginning to use, electronic portfolios are looking to justify the cost and effort involved. The purposes of this volume are to create an in-depth portrait of ways in which electronic portfolios efforts can be evaluated effectively, and to provide xamples of e-folio evaluation in the form of case studies. The intention of these chapters is to serve as models for assessment and evaluation of electronic portfolios in teacher education, as well as to spark further investigations on this tool that is ecoming ubiquitous in so many SCDE’s across the United States and abroad.

Electronic portfolios have received a great deal of attention in teacher education in the past ten to fifteen years. Commensurate with this attention has been the great deal of change in technologies that have contributed to electronic portfolio development. Throughout this evolution, three themes have emerged in the literature related to e-portfolios in teacher education. These themes include e-portfolios for learning, e-portfolios for evaluation and assessment, and e-portfolios for employment. This Executive Position Paper explores the themes in the literature along with a sampling of e-portfolio models to inform the creation of an electronic framework and e-portfolio model that integrates the components of learning, evaluation, assessment, and employment into one integrated tool. This paper focuses specifically on the developmental process for creating an integrated e-portfolio system for teacher education, and provides a plan to evaluate e-portfolios that result from the e-portfolio development process presented in this Executive Position Paper.

Assessment is messy. Day-to-day, in-the-moment assessments not only reveal information that drives future instruction but also offer a comprehensive picture of students’ abilities and dispositions toward learning. As teachers, we might know what this looks and feels like, yet it can be hard to put into action—hence the messiness. Say hello to digital student portfolios—dynamic, digital collections of authentic information from different media, in many forms, and with multiple purposes. Using digital portfolios to capture student thinking and progress allows us to better see our students as readers, writers, and learners—and help students see themselves in the same way! Matt Renwick’s Digital Portfolios in the Classroom is a guide to help teachers sort through, capture, and make sense of the messiness associated with assessment. By shining a spotlight on three types of student portfolios—performance, process, and progress—and how they can be used to assess student work, Renwick helps educators navigate the maze of digital tools and implement the results to drive instruction.

Background: Teacher education programs in the State of California are increasingly held accountable for the assessment of teacher candidates' competencies and performance. One salient assessment tool is the utilization of portfolios in teacher education programs (Wolf, 1989; 1991). Among the newest and most innovative templates of portfolios in teacher education are electronic portfolios. Electronic portfolios are gaining popularity in part, due to the prevalence of their technological accessibility and the numerous on-line portfolio options. Purpose: The primary research question addressed was how do the constituents (e.g., credential candidates, faculty, and portfolio evaluators) perceive the electronic portfolio processes within and across the two teacher preparation programs. Setting: This study took place at a start-up public university across two fifth-year credential programs respectively-- the Education Specialist: Mild/Moderate Disabilities Level One and the Single Subject Credential Programs. Study Sample: Twenty credential candidates and six evaluators participated in the Education Specialist pilot assessment project. Twelve credential candidates and five evaluators participated in the Single Subject pilot assessment project. Intervention: Research Design: Qualitative Control or Comparison Condition: Data Collection and Analysis: Data were collected through detailed field notes, focus group interviews, and student portfolios. Data were coded by themes and analyzed. Findings: The two major themes of process and tool oriented issues related to the use of electronic portfolios emerged from the comparative data analysis within and across the two credential programs. Time, usability for evaluators, and management of the electronic environment were major findings. Conclusion: Overall, a portfolio must be and perceived as integrated into a teacher education program by students and faculty. It is important that portfolio elements aligned and goals and tasks are clear to the participants. Additionally, the time and resources needed to successfully implement and maintain a portfolio system must not be overlooked. Coordinating the players and tasks, evaluation of candidate work, evaluation of process, aggregation and analysis of data, data management, and maintenance of the process are all necessary elements in a successful portfolio assessment process.
