This item has been replaced by How to Develop a Professional Portfolio: A Manual for Teachers, 4/E.

This versatile and practical book helps pre- and in-service teachers create teaching portfolios to be used effectively in interviews and throughout their teaching careers.

Portfolio development serves as a fair, authentic, broad-based, and impartial means of teacher assessment. The growing emphasis on creating and maintaining professional teaching portfolios enables pre-service and in-service teachers to play a more active role in charting their own professional growth and then demonstrating their competence and achievements. This manual provides clear, manageable, step-by-step guidelines and tips for professional portfolio development that can be followed by teachers at all stages of their careers.

Provides specific guidelines for assembling portfolios, step-by-step procedures for portfolio development, and tips on how to organize a portfolio to document achievement of professional goals (Ch. 2).

Offers explanations of national teaching standards that form the organizing system of the portfolio; scenarios of actual pre-service teaching activities that illuminate the standards (Ch. 4).

An extensive, annotated list of artifact possibilities helps students identify papers, projects, course assignments, etc. that can be used to document professional growth and competence (Ch. 6).

Chapter 5 instructs readers how to use a portfolio at three points in a professional career—as a professional growth tool for the pre-service teacher, as a job interview tool for the beginning teacher, and for continuing education and professionalism for the veteran teacher.
- Pre-service teachers learn how to use working portfolios while completing teacher preparation programs, then how to use presentation portfolios in teacher interviews. Includes specific interview questions and suggested responses, using the portfolio as a guide (Ch. 5).
- In-service teachers learn how maintaining portfolios affects professional growth and ways of using portfolios to accomplish goals in classrooms and school districts (Ch. 5).

In Appendix C, a sample brochure called “Portfolio at a glance,” illustrates how to summarize the contents of a portfolio to make it more understandable to a reviewer.

Appendix D provides a glossary of terms important to portfolio development.

Contains an entirely new chapter on creating and developing electronic portfolios (Ch. 3).

Content has been thoroughly updated in each chapter.
