Steps in Developing

Portfolio Assessment
Like any other assessment strategies, teachers must be
grounded on the processes of implementing portfolio
assessment. It is not like a traditional type of
assessment that can be done in a short while. Portfolio
assessment necessitates time and effort from both
teachers and learners.
1. Identify the overall purpose and focus.
• As teachers, you have to begin with the end in mind. This principle
means that you have to know the end goal of all the activities that
you implement inside your classroom. Regarding the portfolio, you
have to know the nature of the evaluation, whether it is process-
based or product-based.

Product Process
2. Identify the physical structure.

• Teachers can now decide on the

technical aspect.
• Teachers can use a traditional portfolio Traditional Electronic
which is a tangible portfolio or an Portfolio Portfolio
electronic portfolio which can be
presented a compact disc (CD) or in a
universal serial bus (USB) Flash drive.
3. Determine the sources of content.

• A portfolio is not a mere collection of diversified sources.

• A good portfolio must have a specific theme that learners and teachers
must uphold.
4. Determine the student reflection
guideline.

• Before implementing your portfolio assessment, make sure that the

learners are aware of the processes, content, purpose, and the
evaluation process.
• Allowing the students to know these areas will help them
distinguishing what to pursue and what should be given emphasis.
5. Identify the scoring rubric the evaluate.

• Part of the success of portfolio assessment is when teachers are able to

create or adapt scoring rubric aligned with the learning targets. There
are instances that teachers use standardized scoring rubrics which
leave a great question on the reliability and validity of the results.
6. Communicate the result of portfolio
evaluation.
• The terminal step of the assessment process is the announcement of
results.
• It is very important to emphasize their scores and how they landed
those scores.
• The children will know the strengths of their portfolio which can
actually allow them to continue doing them.
