For Introduction to Early Childhood Education, Curriculum, and Student Teaching courses.

 

This booklet demonstrates how to collect items for a professional Early Childhood Education portfolio and how to create/compile them in a professional manner, electronically or in a binder, for presentation upon graduation to obtain employment.  The authors guide the reader in selecting items for the portfolio, how to compile/construct/label it, and how to talk about it/present it.

  • Great supplemental book for the following courses: Introduction to Early Childhood Education, Student Practicum or Student Teaching, and/or Curriculum in Early Childhood Education.
  • Describes and gives ideas for the step-by-step process of developing, self-evaluating, and presenting a professional early childhood education portfolio.  (See pg. v.).
  • Unlike other books, this book shows how to present the portfolio as a benchmark for completion of a teacher ed program and how to present it and respond to interview questions when securing employment.  Truly shows preservice Early Childhood teachers how to prepare sections of a professional portfolio, evaluate it, and present it to a future employer. (Ex. pg. 102-103).
  • Emphasizes the stages of portfolio development (rather than portfolio types) outlining detailed steps, examples of specific pages, checklists, and self-evaluation rubrics, includes written examples of reflective narratives and how they relate to the student's educational philosophy, and shows how to use INTASC, NAEYC, or other standards as a framework for organizing artifacts. (Ex. pg. 90).
  • Includes a portfolio-building activity and Web sites in each chapter. (Ex. pg. 104).

    It demonstrates how to collect items for a professional Early Childhood Education portfolio and how to create/compile them in a professional manner, electronically or in a binder, for presentation upon graduation to obtain employment.  As portfolios are sometimes started in Intro to ECE and compiled throughout the program, or introduced in a Curriculum course, or in a Student Teaching or capstone course, there are several points of entry for this supplement.  Wiltz instructs the student what items to collect for the portfolio, how to compile/construct/label it, and then how to talk about it/present it.
