Portfolios, as good assessment tools?

Hello all!!! For this message I will be talking about portfolios or more specifically the portfolios we are doing for Mr. Becksfort Tech & Topics class. I believe that portfolios are a good way of presenting oneself, and a good way for future employers or peers to get a good knowledge of the teacher as a person. Through the portfolios we are doing in my class I am able to give my personal philosophy on teaching, my credentials, and my work/lesson plans. Through the portfolio people are able to put a face on the teacher and not just a resume that focus on the face value of a person. Thanks for reading! SJW
