Missing from most school's change efforts is an ongoing system of evaluation and monitoring. By introducing a school portfolio into your restructuring efforts, you will be able to:
- Collect and present information so it is easy to read and understand to facilitate better decision making by school personnel
- Effectively communicate with the internal and external communities to involve and motivate them
- Guide the simultaneous implementation of multiple improvements
- Assess whether or not the efforts are making a difference
Easy to build and easy to use, a school portfolio is a non-threatening, self-assessment tool which exhibits a school's goals, progress, achievements, and vision for improvement. This book shows you how to develop a school portfolio specifically tailored to your school's mission, vision, and plan, reflecting unique challenges and opportunities.

"Write it briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light."
