PROJECT #4 – TEACHING ELECTRONIC-PORTFOLIO
This project consists on designing and developing your individual teaching e-portfolio. The goal is to create a
product that will demonstrate your knowledge and skills to a potential employer, and an on-going experience of
reflection that begins when you enter your current program.
From your first day in your program you should begin collecting the evidence of the skills that you are developing.
Additionally, your portfolio will reflect your overall teaching professional experience, not just your work as a
student-teacher. Simultaneously you should be carrying out reflections for yourself. These are some questions that
you might consider addressing in your reflections:
• What have I learned with this experience?
• How has my perspective shifted, and what can I do now that I could not do before? What about my
professional goals? Are they the same?
• Which kinds of activity am I going to want to do more often, and which less?
• What are the possibilities for my professional future that I see differently, see for the first time, or see again
with increased clarity?
• How does the work I am gathering now for possible inclusion in my portfolio demonstrate about me? When
I show that work to someone in the future, what do I want that person to know about me from reviewing my
work?
