Answer to Question 1

Portfolios provide an excellent means of communicating with parents. The products and student self-reflections can provide parents with a window into the classroom. It gives them a more intimate basis for seeing aspects of their children's experiences in school. Portfolios can also be used as a vehicle for student-directed conferences with students, parents, and teachers. The specifics of the portfolio provide a framework for meaningful three-way discussions of the student's achievements, progress, and areas to work on next. Parents' comments on the specific entries and overall portfolio can also contribute to and become part of the portfolios.
