Teaching is complex.
It requires a set of behaviors, skills, and dispositions that converge in the classroom to create interaction that promotes student learning and development. Because we have seen such a dramatic increase in the use of teaching portfolios at all levels of the teacher profession, The Division of Human Resource Management, within the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, and the College of Education and Psychology, within N.C. State University, have collected portfolios and reflections from preservice teachers, and nationally board certified teachers. As you will discover, although each portfolio is unique, a commonality is that the portfolio provides teachers with the opportunity to reflect on the what, how, and why of teaching, learning, and development. We hope you find these portfolios and the teachers' reflections informative. Dr. Edwin R. Gerler - Assoc.
