Abstract: This case study explores the effects of learner-centered portfolio assessment on teachers' and students' views of literacy development as an indicator of whether teaching, learning, and assessing work together to enhance beliefs and understandings. In this study, learner-centered portfolio assessment refers to placing the student in the role of assessor and the teacher in the role of guide or facilitator of learning consistent with transactions of a constructivist classroom.
