Students in our elementaryeducation program develop their portfolios based upon the educationdepartment model, Communities of Teachers and Learners. Use learner-centered models of teaching and learning.2. Engage learners in challenging content. Use a collaborativeapproach. Demonstrate accountability for goals and assessments.
Eachmain outcome has five sub-outcomes.
As our elementary students continue through the program certain coursesincorporate the portfolio process. In their senior year the portfolio isreviewed in the core group during the term before student teaching, juniorsare a part of this review. The portfolio is part of the final studentteaching evaluation conference, and a program exit conference with theportfolio is also required. This follows the artistic portfolio model of choosing whatbest describes them as a professional.
