In her article, “Using Portfolios to Assess Student Learning,” Starr Sackstein advocates for portfolios as an effective alternative to traditional testing. She emphasizes that portfolios allow students to reflect on and select work that best represents their learning, providing a more personalized and comprehensive assessment. Sackstein suggests co-constructing selection criteria with students and encourages educators to shift from standardized tests, which can be biased, to portfolio assessments that support student agency and provide a clearer picture of their progress.
