Adaptive Learning White Paper | Knewton. RenzulliLearning. The Renzulli Learning Personal Success Plan® (PSP®) is a research-based*, goal-oriented assessment and treatment tool designed to encourage students to think, dream, and succeed.

The PSP helps students to identify their interests, understand how to develop these interests into talents, associate themselves with role models, and — ultimately — create meaningful, attainable goals and plans.

By supporting students’ individual social and academic goals, The Personal Success Plan gives them the incentive and ambition to succeed. Students are introduced to a variety of careers and project ideas — both traditional and unique — that match their own interests and expression styles Each student’s interests, heroes and helpers, and career ideas help guide the establishment of plans and goals, which he or she starts to attain by developing appropriate projects.

Why Use ePortfolios for Assessment? The eportfolio has been used successfully for assessment in K- 12 education as well as many faculties of higher education. In addition to Education, it is often used in the Arts, the Humanities and Social Sciences; it is now becoming more popular with the faculties of Computer Science and Engineering. The Burgess Report (2007) concluded that assembling a portfolio allows a student to showcase a much wider range of achievement for assessment than traditional forms of assessment.

The use of ePortfolios for assessment fits well with the constructivist framework that has been emerging in education as the most effective teaching and learning experience. (Clark & Adamson 2009) It provides opportunities for the formative assessment valuable to the constructivist approach. The ePortfolio provides a tool that allows for assessment for learning since it is: Personal Response I have watched with great interest over the last decade as ePortfolio tools have advanced.
