The Beginning Teacher Portfolio Handbook: Documenting and Reflecting on Your Own Professional Growth and Abilitiesis the result of more than 50 years combined experience in developing, teaching, and evaluating pre-service teaching portfolios.  This book gives both faculty and students a practical, how-to guide to building a convincing portfolio from collection to submission. Moreover, it gives a step-by-step approach to writing powerful reflective essays to demonstrate professional dispositions.

  • Designed to help preservice teachers understand the meaning and intent of the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortiumn (INTASC) principles--This unique new handbook instructs teacher candidates on how to select powerful artifacts of their teaching and how to construct meaningful reflective statements in the context of powerful professional portfolios.

 

  • Written in a handbook manner, this text supports its readers by approaching each INTASC standard with three concrete goals 1)Defining and explaining each INTASC principle, 2) providing multiple models and critiqued examples for discussion, and 3) offering feedback tools (rubrics) to assist readers in evaluating and improving performance.

 

  • Appropriate for undergraduates and graduates in education programs in every state--The handbook engages its readers in rigorous questioning, discovery, and self-assessment.

 

  • Prepares preservice teaches to demonstrate their ability to  reflect, problem-solve, and think critically all in a professional atmosphere–One full chapter (Chapter 3) and part of every other chapter in the handbook are devoted to specific instruction that will improve readers’ principle-based analyses. Authors have included examples from all grade levels and varied curriculum areas as an attempt to help their readers “see themselves” as they read the material in the book.

 

  • The handbook will become a useful tool beyond readers’ preparation for the classroom– Concluding with guidelines for transforming one’s certification portfolio into a job-search portfolio, then career professional portfolio, and the handbook also may be used as a resource in preservice teachers’ first classrooms.
