Written Portfolio
|
The capstone project is
a portfolio that is based on the individual teacher's practice
and goals. The purpose of the portfolio is to exhibit teacher actions
related to instruction, to seek out feedback from informed sources
about each exhibit, and to reflect upon how the exhibits hold implication
for improving subsequent, similar actions. The MI portfolio is
aligned with National Board Certification through NBPTS, but is
not equivalent. Teachers should view the MI portfolio as a step
towards National Board Certification.
EDUC 648 provides details concerning the requirements and procedures
for constructing your portfolio. The MI
Portfolio Outline provides
a summary of the requirements and procedures. You should review
the five core propositions of the National
Board of Professional Teaching Standards.
Your portfolio will be evaluated to determine if you have demonstrated
the ability to apply the knowledge you have gained in the program
to improve the quality of instruction in your classroom. If your
portfolio requires revisions, your graduation could be delayed
until the following semester.
You must have completed a minimum of 25 credits
in your program before you can submit your portfolio.

| Presentation of Portfolio |
| During
the preparation of your portfolio, or while the portfolio is being
reviewed, you must complete an oral presentation on some aspect
of your portfolio. The topic of the presentation is your choice.
The purpose is for you to demonstrate competence in sharing your
knowledge with others. A presentation may be made to professional
colleagues, fellow teachers in your school or district, UD School
of Education faculty, or UD undergraduate teacher education students.
Presentations thus normally occur at faculty meetings or school/district
in-service sessions, at professional meetings, in university courses,
etc. |
