-Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the purpose of a working portfolio?
The purpose of the EYE working portfolio is to help the teacher and the mentor collaborate, reflect on, and formatively assess progress toward increased student learning. Unlike preservice or career portfolios that are built to showcase who you are as a teacher, the EYE working portfolio is designed to shift the emphasis from the teacher to the students.
The process will include notes and artifacts from the following:
- Professional Goals Process
- Self-Assessment using WCSD's Professional Teaching Standards
- Individual Learning Plan
- Mid-Year Review
- End-of-Year Reflection
- Collaborative Assessment Logs
- Peer Coaching/Observations (Four or more)
- Case Study
- Reflective Writing to deepen your thinking about your teaching.
