Teacher Portfolios Can Help You Focus On Your Teaching Goals

What do you need in your Teacher Portfolio? How do you use your Teacher Portfolio?

If you haven’t started your portfolio, you should.  While it’s not a requirement to have one, at least not yet, teacher portfolios are a wonderful resource for you. Not only at an interview, but it will help you in your teaching career.  Saving and organizing documents from each year of teaching will help you to reflect on your student’s (and your) accomplishments.  And a portfolio will help you to stay on track to achieve your goals.

Remember, Teacher Portfolios are NOT JUST FOR INTERVIEWS!  They should be a part of your teaching career.  You should take a little time each year, (or more often would be even better) to update your portfolio.  Your portfolio will become a document you can be proud of.  And it will help should you decide to go for another teacher interview.
