K- I now know what a teaching portfolio should include with regards to things like academic qualifications, courses I have taught and my teaching philosophy just to name a few. I know that there are different portfolio requirements for pre-service and in-service teachers. I also know that a teaching portfolio should be a "working" portfolio, meaning that as the teacher I should be consistently updating/adding new information to my portfolio (this should be done at least twice a year).
W- I still want to know some more specifics about a teaching portfolio such as how my student’s growth should be documented in my portfolio. I am also curious as to how a Special Education ED teacher’s portfolio can look in comparison to a general education teacher’s portfolio, maybe a math general education teacher. Would there be any notable difference between the two portfolios? Can some parts of the portfolio be harder for a special education teacher than for a general education teacher to compile?
L- I learned just how much having a portfolio could benefit me as a teacher. I learned that how a portfolio is presented is almost as important as the content within the portfolio itself. I also learned how it is very important to be original, to showcase unique insights, creativity and skill when writing about your teaching philosophy. Finally, I learned that my final product should be printed on quality paper and having it bound with a plastic comb binder along with taking time to prepare a professional document that reflects my skill, experience and my unique approach to teaching and learning is very important.
