Portfolios have been traditionally used for professionals and college level work. It has recently begun to be used in high schools. I have not found much evidence of its use in middle or elementary levels. However, as a highly qualified educator in my school district, I will use this information to educate myself. In turn, this will enable me to become a better teacher and communicate these lessons with my students.  I will also share what I have learned with my colleagues and administrators.
