Portfolio Help

What you want to do soon is look through the rubric on the Web site below and identify the types of things you will need for your portfolio.

Save just about everything you do in your coursework and see how it can integrate with your portfolio.

Keep in mind that this is a graduate portfolio which is primarily about your graduate studies.

The more items you have collected for your portfolio by the time you start EDUC 505, the more progress you can make during that course regarding your portfolio.

You will be taking EDUC 505, where you will set up your portfolio and learn strategies for adding to it throughout the rest of your program.

Follow-up portfolio help is available when you're trying to finish up.
