Performance-based tasks and tools demonstrate what the English language learner (ELL) student is actually doing in the classroom and what learning progress is being made. Portfolios are particularly useful in assessing student language learning within a content area.

B. Create a set of guidelines for using portfolios of ELL students that you can share with other teachers. Include the following in your guidelines:
elements of a portfolio
classroom time and space for portfolios
