Main outcomes are:

This project intends to help enhance the quality of portfolio assessment and by increasing its appeal and credibility increase its use through the EU so enabling greater mobility of recognised professional teachers while at the same time it will enhance the self-awareness and professional development of educators.

The project will contribute to the implementation of the treaty of Lisbon (2000), article 26, last paragraph.
