Year 1 interns - Continue working on your Philosophy It's time to get serious about your profession. Put it all together to ultimately find a home on your portfolio. Four to five years from now, you will begin to interview for your first teaching position. Two of the components to just about every employment application in education are: **Philosophy of Teaching** and your **Resume.**

**Continue to formulate your professional philosophy of teaching**. Read over the attachments for ideas on how to begin. Your finished philosophy of teaching will go on your portfolio, along with your graphic summary of your philosophy.
 * This is due on Friday February 24 **** . ** Both your philosophy (as an attachment) and graphic (screenshot and upload as a photo) need to be included on your portfolio for a daily grade.











** All interns - Y1 and Y2 **
// Year 2 - you need to polish and update your resumes to reflect any accomplishments this year. An outdated resume is not putting your best foot forward. Your resume should be updated often! Any time you have a new accomplishment, job, award, or honor - you should update your resume. //
