Portfolio Choices
Artifacts:
An artifact is tangible evidence of knowledge that is gained, skills that are mastered, values that
are clarified, or dispositions and attitudes that are characteristic of you. We suggest no fewer
than 2 artifacts per domain. Some of your artifacts should indicate how you adapt instruction
for diverse learners. There are many possible artifacts that can be placed in your portfolio.
Those marked with an asterisk are mandatory and reflect the goals of the Woodland
Hills School District for the 2013-2014 school year.
Entry Slips
Entry slips are reflective pieces that detail the importance of each artifact. You should address
three major questions per artifact:
What? Describe what the artifact is and provide context
So what? Why is the artifact important? How does this artifact demonstrate your understanding
or implementation of a domain or standard?
Now what? What is the next step? How can you improve next time? Set appropriate goals that
can show growth and development over time.
