March 1996 Improving Professional Practice Pages 34-37 Developing an Effective Teaching Portfolio When carefully conceived, portfolios can significantly advance a teacher's professional growth. They can also ensure that evidence of exemplary teaching doesn't vanish without a trace. Kenneth Wolf Educators have used student portfolios to assess student performance for many years. Recently, they have turned their attention to portfolios for teachers. Why the interest in teaching portfolios? Although portfolios can be time-consuming to construct and cumbersome to review, they also can captures the complexities of professional practice in ways that no other approach can. Not only are they an effective way to assess teaching quality, but they also provide teachers with opportunities for self-reflection and collegial interactions based on documented episodes of their own teaching. Essentially, a teaching portfolio is a collection of information about a teacher's practice. It can include a variety of information, such as lesson plans, student assignments, teachers' written descriptions and videotapes of their instruction, and formal evaluations by supervisors. If not carefully thought out, however, a portfolio can easily take the form of a scrapbook or steamer trunk. The "scrapbook" portfolio is a collection of eye-catching and heart warming mementos that has strong personal meaning for the portfolio owner. The "steamer trunk" portfolio is a large container filled to the brim with assorted papers and projects.

var mkeys = new Array('about','awards','prepare','class','develop','technology','portfolios'); What is a Teaching Portfolio? A teaching portfolio brings together key materials that document your experience as a teacher, emphasizing your strengths and highlighting the efforts you have made to enhance your teaching effectiveness. Since the process of creating a portfolio encourages you to articulate your teaching strategies, reflect on your work, and clarify your teaching goals, it is an effective tool for enhancing your teaching as well. The teaching portfolio is a valuable asset in the search for a teaching position, since it allows prospective employers to gain an impression of how seriously you regard teaching, the range of teaching experience you have accumulated, and what efforts you have made to promote learning among your students. Why create a Teaching Portfolio? Many faculty positions require submission of a teaching portfolio or at least portions of it at the time of application. The teaching portfolio is also commonly used as documentation of teaching success during promotion and tenure review. Finally, it helps you to reflect upon your teaching in productive and justifiable ways. What should be included in a Teaching Portfolio?

Lack of thorough documentation is a liability to the candidate, department, and college on legal, ethical, intellectual and efficiency grounds. Although it is recognized that there is much more to the tenure process than what is, or can be, put in a file, it is the primary document used to make the candidate's argument for tenure. The file should therefore reflect a degree of thoroughness and detail sufficient to stand on its own as a source of evidence. candidate is one of the best sources of data to document

Advertise with us Thursday, July 19, 2001 Professors Use the Web to Publish Portfolios of Teaching Techniques By JEFFREY R. YOUNG In an effort to analyze and improve their teaching, some professors are creating multimedia portfolios that try to capture the complex interactions that occur in the classroom. A collection of such portfolios can be found in the new Knowledge Media Laboratory, a virtual resource center created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Each year, the foundation selects about 40 professors from around the country who are given release time and resources to think about and hone their teaching skills. The online laboratory gives those professors a place to publish their work, and the foundation hopes that their portfolios will inspire others to review their own teaching. "The problem is that we often make the assumption that we already know how to teach," says Toru Iiyoshi, a senior scholar for the foundation and co-director of the Knowledge Media Laboratory. "Teaching, like research, is an extremely important and complex activity." "We have been making our research public, but when it comes to teaching, we are practically mute," he adds. "Using technology is one of the most promising techniques to make people realize how much more we can learn about our teaching."

Home Teaching Portfolio: The Teacher and the Learner Submitted by cel4145 on Thu, 04/24/2003 - 09:16. pedagogy Teaching Portfolio writing For me, teaching is ultimately intertwined with learning in a way that blurs the boundaries between the two subject positions of learner and teacher. As a teacher, I try to help my students not so much to learn, but how to learn. Yet, my First-Year Writing classes at Florida State University are a place where I, too, am a learner, learning about writing and teaching. Teaching to Learn In composition studies, David Bartholomae has argued that every time students sit down to write, they must "invent the university for the occasion," that it is our job to somehow teach students to appropriate the discourse of the academic community. However, over the last few years I've come to believe that my first priority should be students. What happens when we place heavy emphasis on academic discourse as the focus of writing classes? Are we seemingly ignoring the fact that most of our students do write for a variety of contexts outside of the academy before they arrive in college, that they will continue to do so while here, and that they may never write for the academy again once they complete their four year enrollment? My goal, then, to borrow from Robert Brooke, is to offer students an "invitation to a writer's life." By giving them regularly scheduled writing that is not all academic prose, exposure and response both to and from others in a writing community, and ownership over their texts, it is my belief that I can better empower them for success in any rhetorical situation.

This session will provide an overview of different electronic portfolio development tools and will introduce a strategy for using Portable Document Format (Adobe Acrobat PDF) files to store and organize Electronic Teaching Portfolios. 1. Introduction This paper will briefly cover various strategies for authoring electronic portfolios and design for an electronic teaching portfolio, including goals/purpose of the portfolio, evaluation criteria, audience, content, context and multimedia materials to include in the portfolio. One strategy often overlooked in the development of electronic portfolios is the use of Adobe Acrobat 's Portable Document Format (PDF) to gather evidence from a variety of applications. There are other authoring software packages which allow the creation of hypertext links between goals, student work samples in multiple forms of media, rubrics, and assessment. The software used to create the electronic portfolio will control, restrict, or enhance the portfolio development process. Form should follow function as well, and the electronic portfolio software selected should match the vision, style and skills of the portfolio developer, as well as the technology available.

Where can I get more information? What is a Teaching Portfolio? A teaching portfolio is, in the most fundamental sense, "a record that documents your work as a teacher." Although there is no single way to organize your portfolio, you should tailor your teaching portfolio to fit your particular goals as an instructor. Some experts define them as a simple "summary of your accomplishments as a teacher." Others view portfolios as reflective tools for the self-improvement of teaching. Both professionally and personally, teaching portfolios are increasingly recognized as important records of a university teaching career. Today, they are significant components of the hiring and tenure process, course revision, and individual teaching growth. This essay will introduce the important issues to consider as you create your teaching portfolio: Why they are important?

The Art of Teaching, Session 2: Using Portfolios to Improve and Evaluate Teaching 25 May 2001 RELATED ARTICLES Before you begin to teach ... Brought By ROBIN WRIGHT UNITED STATES U niversities and colleges increasingly emphasize teaching effectiveness as a factor in promotion and tenure decisions. Because of this changing emphasis, the number and quality of your research publications may no longer be the only measure of whether you climb to the next rung of the academic ladder. Given this fact, how can you document your teaching efforts to colleagues who will be making decisions about your future? Careful development of course and teaching portfolios can be invaluable for educating your colleagues about your teaching. In addition, these portfolios can be tools for improving your effectiveness in the classroom or teaching laboratory. A course portfolio documents your year-by-year teaching efforts in an individual course, providing a history of your innovations and their outcomes. By contrast, a teaching portfolio documents your global teaching efforts, including both formal and informal teaching, and is frequently used by colleagues to evaluate overall teaching effectiveness. Although the two collections of information overlap, we'll consider first the makeup of a course portfolio. The Course Portfolio A course portfolio explains what you are planning to do in a course and why, organizes information about the course, and evaluates the course to inform and direct future efforts. Begin your course portfolio with a paragraph that describes your global teaching philosophy, a statement that will also be included in your teaching portfolio. In writing this statement, consider: How do you view the connection between your teaching and research? What general outcomes are you hoping to achieve? How do you view your role in the classroom? What excites you about teaching? What hurdles do you face? What global needs do your students have? How are you planning to meet those needs? This statement will undoubtedly evolve as you gain teaching experience. Consequently, revisit it frequently as your teaching career progresses.
