As you prepare your projects/assignments, you should store them for use with your ePortfolio. Once they have been approved by your professor, they may be transferred to the ePortfolio.
Note: You may also wish to construct a paper portfolio with printouts of your ePortfolio elements. Candidates have found that occasionally prospective employers do not have the means to access an electronic portfolio. While this problem is less and less common, producing a three-ring binder of all--or selected--elements of your teaching portfolio is a good back-up plan.
A summary of the procedure for adding course-based requirements to your ePortfolio:
- Preparation
ePortfolio elements are prepared by candidates during their FLE methods and language courses. Projects are submitted by candidates to their methods professors using the ePortfolio "share" feature.
- Assessment
A course instructor/clinical supervisor will assess performance on each required element embedded in his/her course, using rubrics distributed in class and/or communicated through the ePortfolio.
- Approval
Instructor/supervisor will inform the candidate that criteria for a required element have (or have not) been met by returning the completed rubric to the candidate.
- Submission
Candidate adds each approved element to appropriate section of his/her ePortfolio.
