ABSTRACT
Since the early 1990’s, when Education for the Future Initiative schools first began using school portfolios, school personnel have been requesting a book that would describe step-by-step procedures for creating their own school portfolio—a “how-to” book. In response to that request, and to enable the dissemination of the work, The School Portfolio: A Comprehensive Framework for School Improvement (Bernhardt, 1994; Second Edition, 1998) was published, and workshops to assist schools in developing school portfolios were (and still are) conducted by Education for the Future Initiative staff.
