Knowing What Counts: Collecting Evidence

Collecting Evidence and Portfolios: Engaging Students in Pedagogical Documentation explains how to authentically involve students in tangible, practical, and possible ways as they collect evidence of their learning. In this book, the authors re-frame "pedagogical documentation" to include the deep involvement of students, regardless of their age. When the process for creating portfolios and preparing collections of evidence is designed well, it is simple enough to be sustained in very busy and diverse classroom settings.
