Defining a Portfolio can be any one of the following:
Notes
• The noun portfolio has its roots in the similarly-sounding Latin
portafoglio “a case for carrying loose papers.”

• A portfolio usually represents a portable showcase of your
talents.

• An artist's portfolio is an edited collection of their best artwork
intended to showcase an artist's style or method of work. A
portfolio is used by artists to show employers their versatility
by showing different samples of current work. Typically, the
work reflects an artist's best work or a depth in one specific
area of work.

• A career portfolio should be personal and contain critical
information. Items that should be included, include (but are not
limited to) personal information, evaluations, sample work, and
awards and acknowledgments. Career portfolios are often
kept in a simple three-ring binder or online as an electronic
portfolio and updated often.

Evidence is/refers to…

• the available body of facts or information indicating whether a
