#12: Differentiation means tailoring instruction to meet individual needs Whether teachers differentiate content, process, products, or the learning environment, the use of ongoing assessment and flexible grouping
#13: Portfolios are purposeful, organized, systematic collections of student work that tell the story of a student's efforts, progress, and achievement in specific areas. The student participates in the selection of portfolio content, the development of guidelines for selection, and the definition of criteria for judging merit. Portfolio assessment is a joint process for instructor and student.
Portfolio assessment emphasizes evaluation of students'
