In this collection, English language arts teachers describe the benefits of using portfolios in assessing student writing and tell how portfolios and a process approach help students to build self-confidence and to develop sensitivity about what constitutes good writing. These teachers stress the value of student collaboration and the necessity of allowing students to rework and reshape their writing to meet the shifting demands of their own lives.
