If you apply for a job from an online portfolio system, 10 usually is the minimum image number it will request you to submit.
      Must include the following information for every artwork: Title, Media, and Year. Optional: Size

(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!!

  1. Cover for your interview portfolio
  2. Resume
  3. Teaching philosophy (A general philosophy description, instruction and management, instruction and assessment)
  4. Advocacy brochure for each placement. See examples below.
  5. Your artist statement (Briefly introduce the art areas that you were trained or learned.)
  6. At least 10 images of your selected personal artworks with title, media, and year below. Must match the art areas that you mentioned in section 5. They can be arranged by year or medium, your choice. The image sizes are also your choice as long as they can clearly show the artwork’s quality and details. If you apply for a job from an online portfolio system, 10 usually is the minimum image number it will request you to submit.
    Must include the following information for every artwork: Title, Media, and Year. Optional: Size
  7. Two FULL lesson plans for EACH student teaching placement. (Please use the assigned lesson plan format. Please provide the revised ones with your teaching reflections)

**I suggest you make a section cover page for each listed section.
