(Optional now) PHYSICAL PORTFOLIO

Although after the pandemic, most of the documentation was asked to be made electronically, having a physical portfolio with you still can be beneficial when you go to a physical interview. Please consider still crafting a physical portfolio by having the following elements inside.

When you go to a job interview, you do not always have the chance or the Internet available to show your online teaching portfolio, so, a physical portfolio can help you present your works right away.

So, once you have your e-portfolio in hand, you can print out the documents from your e-portfolio for your physical one by adding some designs. During the student teaching seminar, you will be arranged to have a mock interview with professional art educators, and a physical portfolio is required. Please print out the documents below, put them in a binder, and then bring the binder along with your laptop to the class on the date of your mock interview.

**Any pages that include images have to be printed in color!!
