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. |
