A portfolio is an organized, purposeful
collection of student work that displays knowledge, understanding,
skills, accomplishments, interests, and achievement over a specified
time. When used as an assessment, portfolios provide an overview
of a student's abilities, and help to determine the strengths or
weaknesses of the student. (from IT)

Teacher Portfolios - Maybe before you try this with students
