Developing a Teaching Portfolio: A Guide for Preservice and Practicing Teachers

With a focus on using portfolios to show one’s work throughout a professional teaching career, this compact, easy-to-read volume provides prospective and current teachers both the foundation and the specifics to be successful in their portfolio building endeavors. A two-part organization serves a two-fold purpose: first, setting the stage for portfolio building for students and novice teachers who have yet to engage in this activity; and, second, presenting a menu of topics from which more experienced educators can choose to inform their creation of targeted, results-oriented portfolios for a variety of situations.

New to this edition:

• Integrated technology portfolio assignments
• More portfolio examples, included at the end of the book
• Digital portfolio examples
• Case studies following several teachers throughout their careers
• Additional examples of reflections, analyses, rubrics, and statewide assessment systems

These new features illustrate chapter concepts, and provide readers with quality examples and tools for reference.
