Portfolio analysis is a structured examination of a school's writing program, as reflected in the student portfolio collections. It provides an opportunity for an entire faculty to meet together as professionals with one common goal: to improve student performance. Its objectives are to analyze portfolios to determine instructional implications for a school, to help schools gather evidence of instructional strengths and needs, and to target professional development and consolidated planning. Part Three of the resource Kentucky Writing Program: Creating a Culture of Feedback and Analysis guides schools through this process. Adding Parts One and Two of this resource guides schools in developing a system of ongoing feedback and analysis at the classroom level, the team level and the school level.
