student portfolios
Pupil work compilations
Student portfolios are collections of a student's work assembled to demonstrate learning, progress, or achievement.
Unlike a single test or grade, a portfolio shows development over time: The admissions committee reviewed her student portfolio of essays and art projects.
Portfolios may include written work, projects, reflections, or multimedia pieces, and are used for assessment, college applications, or showcasing skills to employers.
