ABSTRACT

In the eight chapters that follow is a fictitious school portfolio organized around the Education for the Future Initiative Continuous Improvement Continuums. The portfolio is written as if the teachers of the school, River Road Elementary, have documented three years of their work in this portfolio. In an actual school portfolio of a real school, the narratives would be written by staff members based on input from all staff (this element is further discussed in the Leadership Chapter.) The real school would also include many artifacts showing its work. Examples of artifacts or evidence have been noted throughout this fictitious school portfolio, and some have been created for inclusion in this book.
