Teaching Portfolio Guidance
Participants are required to develop an electronic teaching portfolio that includes evidence of their teaching experiences, preceptor and student evaluations, narrative self-assessments, and documentation of their personal teaching philosophy. The teaching portfolios will be reviewed and formal feedback will be provided by experienced educators.
Final portfolios are due by May 15th. The form for submission as well as your assigned portfolio reviewer will be assigned the week prior to the deadline. More details to come in May.

Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Do I have to use a website or can I use a filesharing site?
-
Website (not filesharing site) – there are many free options (Wix, Weebly, etc.)
-
-
Do I have to do a reflection for each teaching experience?
-
Yes, however, if similar (entire course facilitation, case conference), you can lump and do a reflection which includes growth and areas for improvement throughout the entire experience.

What if I don’t have all of my teaching completed by May 15?
