= Monday = = = =//**Check out the blog assignment due on April 3!**//= =//** Professional Portfolios: **//=

What is a Professional Portfolio?  It is an organized collection of evidence to show your knowledge, talent, and skills in the area of teaching. It should reflect your individuality, show your competence, and professionally express your creativity. What a Professional Portfolio is not:
 * Just a file of assignments and projects
 * A scrapbook of teaching memorabilia

Organizing Your Portfolio There is no one "right way" to organize your portfolio, however, there must be some understandable system to how it is set up. For this assignment you will follow the organization system established by your teacher. You may reorganize your portfolio in the future as you wish. Follow the guides below to help you meet the criteria set by your teacher. Watch for updates as your teachers may make additions each class period.



The Setting The principal of your field site campus has contacted you. He/she would like you to consider interviewing for a position as an educational assistant since you were an outstanding Education and Training intern. Because you will likely be one of the youngest candidates, he/she has requested that you prepare evidence of your qualifications and experience in the form of a professional e-portfolio.

Your Task Showcase your qualifications and experience by creating a concise, yet complete, e-portfolio of your knowledge, skills, talents, and experience to assist you in securing the position. Use wikispaces.com to create your e-portfolio.



Deadlines: Your portfolio deadline is Friday, May 1, 2015.  However, you must meet checkpoints along the way. Each class period you will have goals to meet. You will be responsible for meeting these deadlines by completing your work in class or finishing it outside of class by the deadline if you are absent. The key to this assignment is completing your work in a timely manner, so be sure to use your time wisely in class. You may work ahead if you finish a section prior to a deadline, but do not "skip ahead" leaving a section incomplete.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Each section will be graded (six daily grades, 3 entered the 5th six weeks and 3 entered the 6th six weeks). A major grade (weighted 3x) will be calculated by averaging all six daily grades together. You may make revisions which will be calculated in the major grade average, but the six "checkpoint" grades taken as you progress will stand. See the table below.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">For professional and safety reasons, remember to follow the EAT dress code. If you want to be taken seriously, then look like you mean business. Approved EAT shirts only! Name badges must be worn. If you are missing your EAT shirt or your EAT name badge, report to BCTAL for your class period. Penalty points will be deducted from your professionalism grade.
