The purpose of this electronic portfolio is to demonstrate my developing competency of the four teacher certification standards on Subject, Teaching, Learning, and Profession.
This portfolio was started during the summer of 2009. As I complete courses during the program and my student teaching internship, I will submit three types of blogging posts:
1. The first type of entry will include reflections on what I am learning and on my experiences. I will share my thoughts about my development as a teacher. I will talk about the experiences I am living as part of this program.
2. The second type of entry will be slightly more formal as I include both teacher-based and student-based artifacts (papers, projects, images, video links, etc.) with my posts to help demonstrate my developing competency on the certification standards. I will self-assess these submissions in reference to the rubrics provided in class.
3. The third type of entry will be reflective assignment submissions that my instructors may ask of me as part of the course they are teaching.
Every post will align with either the certification standards and/or other tags that I find meaningful. Faculty and my University Coordinator will periodically review my posts and provide feedback.
As required in the program, I will develop meta-reflections on each standard and faculty will conduct a full review. These can be found on the “Standards” pages in this site. Throughout this process, I will document my learning and growth as a pre-service teacher in the ARC-MAT program.
