The Development and Use of Literacy Portfolios for Students,Classes, and Teachers

Portfolio assessment is one of the most interesting and widely discussed of the new alternative assessments. In this paper we explore the portfolio metaphor as it is applied to literacy portfolios. We suggest that portfolios provide a powerful tool for the enhancement of instruction and assessment, addressing educators' concerns about authentic assessment, documentation of academic progress, and teacher and student involvement. However, we caution that there are many important and unresolved issues that must be confronted if portfolio assessment is to succeed. Fundamental issues of validity and reliability must be addressed as well as practical issues of implementation, standard setting, sufficient resources, and teacher expertise. We argue that the ultimate success of portfolios will rest on our ability to communicate portfolio-based assessment information to others. We offer the teacher's class portfolio as a promising strategy for aggregating and reporting information, while preserving the integrity of individual student portfolios and teacher judgment. Whether the emphasis is on individual student portfolios or classroom portfolios, educators must be committed to the staff development and additional research that portfolio assessment demands.     

Portfolios in First Grade: Four Teachers Learn to Use Alternative Assessment

Educational assessment is experiencing significant changes which affect classroom practices. This article describes an in-depth qualitative study of the implementation of portfolio assessment by four first grade teachers. Creative activities and valuable insights were given by these teachers which allow for successful implementation of portfolios in the classroom. These teachers found three major benefits of portfolios: (1) a means of communicating more effectively with families, (2) a tool to motivate, encourage, and instruct students in the skills of self-assessment, and (3) a mechanism to monitor and improve their own instruction in the classroom.

The Mind-Body Revisited

Western civilization has a philosophical tradition based upon dualisms and dichotomies. Among these dichotomies is one that separates the mind and the body. In an area of study and practice such as physical education, this separation of the human into two parts has implications for our teaching, research, curricula, and even the way we work with people. The purpose of this article is to review the philosophic history of the mind and body with reference to the implications this dualism has had in our profession. This is followed by a discussion of a nondualistic, embodied view of humans and how that nondualistic view might call for (a) changes in the way we work with people, and (b) integrative study and analysis in order to lead to a more complete understanding of human movement.     

幼儿成长档案--新《纲要》理念下学前教育评价初探

随着新《幼儿园教育指导纲要》的实施，许多幼儿园开始对幼儿发展评价进行积极的探索与实践。在学习中大家都认识到评价可以帮助教师了解幼儿发展状况，帮助教师分析课程的适宜性，有利于与家长沟通，更好地促进幼儿的健康发展。可在实际操作中往往并不尽如人意：评价的模式、内容和手段以成人的意志为主宰；评价过程忽略幼儿的主体性和能动性；     

The Place of English Revisited

In this essay I explore the constraints and opportunities confronting me as a newly qualified teacher and how these affect my pedagogy. I have reflected on my own development from beginning to newly qualified teacher and considered how such forces have shaped my identity as a teacher, my values and my approach to the job. As part of my exploration of my practice and the values I hold, I have revisited ‘The Place of English’, an essay I wrote midway through my Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) year; I have reconsidered how the current climate of educational reform and my subsequent experience have altered or strengthened these initial perceptions. In what follows I have reflected critically on two episodes of teaching and learning with my Year 10 class, my most challenging group, in order to further understand the way in which I have responded to the responsibilities and pressures placed on a classroom teacher. These pressures, I suggest, are intensified by the preconceptions of age and gender within my school and implicit more widely in the traditional values of our culture. The fragments of my practice that I have explored reveal tensions that gesture at a gap between educational theory, first-hand professional experience and governmental policy. They present an argument to resist the temptations of oversimplified, linear conceptions of teaching and learning, and maintain the place of English as a subject of creativity, exploration and expression that, at its heart, values both individual and collective student voices and identities.     

The Concept of Education Revisited

Enquiries into the meanings of words and the nature of things are first distinguished, and two different senses of 'concept' identified: a first sense in which 'concept' is attached to empirical facts, and a second sense in which a concept marks a purely logical space. The concept of education, in the second sense, is seen to be inevitable for human beings, and already carries certain values with it.

香港幼儿园推行幼儿学习历程档案的现况、反思与建议

香港教育局在2006年颁布的《学前教育课程指引》中明确提出幼儿园教师应为幼儿建立学习历程档案。迄今香港幼儿园推行学习历程档案已有两年,可是很多幼儿园教师只是将一堆幼儿学习的文件和资料记录下来而已,忽略了建立学习历程档案的目的,同时在建立此档案的过程中存在跟进、幼儿与家长参与等方面的不足。应裁剪课程以为教师提供更多时间用于档案的建立;应鼓励教师吸引幼儿与家长参与;应为教师提供相关的培训与交流机会,以深化和提高他们对建立学习历程档案意义的理念认识与实践能力。

The Lake Wobegon Effect Revisited

In the summer 1988 Issue of EM, John Cannell presented evidence Indicating that most states and schools are scoring above average on nationally normed elementary achievement tests. This phenomenon has come to be known as the Lake Wobegon Effect after the mythical town of Lake Wobegon where all children are above average. The summer 1988 Issue also Included commentaries on Cannels work by representatives of major test publishers and officials In the U.S. Department of Education. In this follow-up article, Cannell responds to criticisms of his previous work.     

The 'Moment of 1976' Revisited

This paper, which is a response to a previous one by Charles Batteson (1997) published in the Journal, challenges the view that James Callaghan's personal intervention in the politics of education in 1976 in making the Ruskin Speech was pivotal in shaping the subsequent direction of Labour' policies for school reform. The paper also queries the idea that the Ruskin Speech was the immediate harbinger of New Right education policies. Instead, it is suggested, the historical record points up that such policies gained ascendancy only some ten years later, the intervening period being dominated more by an acceptance of the educational consensus constructed by the Labour leadership in 1976–77.
