Though this manual is largely intended for individual, self-directed learning, tips for group facilitators are noted for workshop presentations. For a group to cover the information given, some preparatory work will be necessary. Distributing the supplementary readings and the recommended resource list in advance of the workshop would be a good idea. Also, participants should come to the workshop with notes or logs they have kept on individual learner progress.

Practitioners should be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes on completion of the manual:

• Practitioners will be able to use the portfolio development process with adult literacy learners to document learning for a variety of purposes.

• Practitioners will be able to identify a theoretical basis for the portfolio development process.

• Practitioners will be able to document learners' achievement of outcomes within the context of foundation level outcomes.

Supplementary readings are included. The following resources are not included but are highly recommended:
