This book and CD provide a reliable and easy way for teachers to:

Adopting the templates in this book and CD will enable you to define:
- standards which describe actual duties and activities of teachers
- behaviors which indicate the quality of teaching
- "artifacts" which provide evidence of teaching and learning

The Compact Disk, for Macintosh & Windows, contains easy-to-use templates of performance assessment rubrics, feedback forms, and other documents to help you organize & implement Teacher Portfolios in your school.
