Abstract
This article highlights current thinking and practice regarding the use of student portfolios in undergraduate special education teacher education programs. Portfolios allow preservice teachers to document their performance of authentic tasks associated with the teaching role. The author describes several ways special education teacher education programs can use portfolios for student and program assessment. The article includes suggestions for overcoming the subjectivity associated with portfolio entries and their evaluation and touches on their use in alternative teacher certification.
