A select portion of the working portfolio used for a specific purpose is referred to as a

• A. assessment portfolio.
• B. evaluation portfolio.
• C. presentation portfolio.
• D. working portfolio.

Answer: (C)

A presentation portfolio is a curated subset of a broader working portfolio chosen to showcase specific skills or progress to a particular audience. The goal is to selectArtifacts that best demonstrate relevant competencies, and present them in a clear, organized way with brief context for each item so the viewer understands why they matter. This focused collection is distinct from a full working portfolio, which is kept for ongoing reflection and development, and from assessment or evaluation portfolios, which are intended for formal measurement of learning or program outcomes. In contexts like counseling practice, a presenter might pull representative case notes, treatment plans, and progress summaries to illustrate approach and growth, making a concise, persuasive demonstration rather than a comprehensive record.
