The proposed action research explores the implementation of digital ePortfolios within Crowley ISD as a means to enhance student learning, ownership, and long-term academic growth. Currently, many student assignments and projects lose relevance after grading, leaving learners disconnected from the value of their work. By introducing ePortfolios beginning in elementary school and continuing through high school, students will be able to collect, reflect upon, and showcase their learning across all subjects and grade levels. This initiative empowers students to recognize their own progress, develop twenty-first-century skills, and maintain a record of both academic and extracurricular accomplishments that can be carried beyond graduation.

​

The goal of this action research is to evaluate how digital ePortfolios impact student engagement, motivation, and the continuity of learning across grade levels. By examining both student and teacher perspectives, the study will provide evidence of how ePortfolios foster reflection, strengthen cross-curricular connections, and support authentic assessment practices. Ultimately, this research seeks to determine the effectiveness of ePortfolios as a district-wide innovation that equips students with tools for self-directed learning, professional growth, and lifelong success.
