F. Portfolios

You have to prepare two types of portfolios during your student teaching:

E-PORTFOLIO
The ePortfolio provides prospective employers with the ability to view your credentials and preparation as a future teacher. The following elements are required should be included:

1. E-portfolio description/introduction (Details will be provided in another sheet)
2. Teaching Philosophy, including:
- Demonstration of your teaching belief
- Instruction and Assessment Statement
- Instruction and Management Statement
- OPTIONAL: We are visual arts educators! Try to develop one visual image or diagram to represent your statements
1. Professional resume
2. Reference list
3. Practicum Teaching Experiences:
  This will be a page to simply demonstrate your practicum experiences. Placement descriptions and dates must be included.
1. Documentation for secondary and elementary placements (including Setting and context and standards element linkage)
  At least one of the lesson plans that you share on the e-portfolio has to be associated with social justice issue(s).
1. Reflections (aligning standards/elements to student teaching experience)
  a) Art journal (Weekly contact): Please make an additional page on your e-portfolio website to document your teaching practices weekly. In each week, Claire will email you an arts-based prompt by email. You are expected to make short arts-based reflections and post them on this art journal page. b) Lesson plan reflection: You are also expected to write a brief reflection on your teaching and observation at the end of each lesson plan.
2. Artist statement
3. Examples of personal artwork

PHYSICAL PORTFOLIO (must have for the mock interview)

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 design. During the student teaching seminar, you will be arranged to have a mock interview by professional art educators and the physical portfolio is required to bring. Please print out the documents below and put them in a binder and then bring it along with your laptop to the class on the date of your mock interview.

Resume
Teaching philosophy (The general introduction, instruction and management, instruction and assessment)
TWO lesson spreads (from your first placement). You are going to make these in addition to what you already have. You can see the instruction here: Lesson Spread_what to include and examples here: lesson spread example 1, lesson spread example 2
Your artist statement (Briefly introduce the art areas that you was trained or learned at CSU.)
At least 10 images of your personal selected artworks with title, media, year below the images. Must match the art areas that you mentioned in the section 4. They can be arranged by year or medium, your choice. The images sizes are also your choice as long as they could clearly show the artworks’ quality and details. If you apply for a job from an online portfolio system, 10 usually is the minimum image number that it will request you to submit.
The two FULL lesson plans of the lesson spreads that you made above. (Please provide the revised ones with your reflections)
