- "A portfolio
is not merely a file of course projects and assignments, nor is
it a scrapbook of teaching memorabilia. A portfolio is an organized,
goal-driven documentation of your professional growth and achieved
competence in the complex act of teaching." (Campbell, et al.,
1997) Portfolios
are part of a performance assessment process designed to enable
a student to demonstrate their abilities to meet course and program
objectives and standards. Such assessments require students to synthesize
the knowledge, skills, and dispositions acquired in a course; reflect
the real-life work of the teaching profession; revise their written
work; make choices that reflect their interests, abilities, and
needs; and reflect upon the value of the experience in regards to
professional growth and development.
(Campbell, Melenyzer, Nettles, & Wyman, 2000)
- Learning and Growth as an Educator
- "Teacher education provides a starting point to instill the norm of reflective practise as well as to introduce the requisite knowledge and skills to approach teaching in a reflective way. "Richert, A.E. 1990
- ".... portfolios provide an opportunity and a structure for teachers to document and describe their teaching; articulate their professional knowledge; and reflect on what, how and why they teach" Borko, Michalec, Timmons, Siddle 1997
- "A teaching
portfolio is the structured documentary history of a (carefully selected)
set of coached or mentored accomplishments substantiated by samples
of student work and fully realized only through reflection, writing,
deliberation, and serious conversation." (Shulman,
1992)
