‘Teaches you how to build a portfolio and shows the potential benefits of the portfolio process. Qualitative research, which is essentially what portfolios lead to, is beneficial for teachers because it helps them reflect on what actually happens in their classrooms. I can′t think of a more powerful tool for learning and growth.’
—Erin Powers, English Teacher, Paul Revere Charter Middle School, Los Angeles, CA
