Jeremy on porfolios

Jeremy Hiebert offers valuable comments on an article I linked yesterday to on portfios: "The basic assumption here is that the goal of any portfolio initiative should be to have portfolios eventually replace high-stakes testing. That sounds admirable enough, but their top couple of levels of maturity look a lot like high-stakes assessment to me: linking everything to pre-defined standards, departmental goals and taxonomies."
