Professional e-Portfolio
The portfolio is a reflective assignment designed for teacher candidates to highlight the developmental nature of the credential program as they progress from teacher candidates to credentialed teachers. The work selected will align with the Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs), which the Commission requires on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) for a preliminary teaching credential. This serves as the anchor assignment in the field seminar courses and is the culminating project in the credential program.
AUDIENCE: The audience could include candidates’ course instructors, fellow colleagues in the program, and employers. It is expected that candidates use this portfolio both during the job search and in their own classroom during supervised teaching and beyond. If you decide to create this portfolio using a website format, no student images or names can be present.
ARTIFACTS: Candidates collect and organize artifacts in many formats(audio, video, graphics, and text) to showcase their best work in the credential program demonstrating the knowledge, skills, and abilities developed along the path to becoming a teacher, while aligning with the TPEs. If students’ images or names are included, blur their faces and/or redact their names.
TECHNOLOGY: Candidates must use their CSU East Bay Google account to create this assignment. Depending on the candidate’s chosen audience, they may choose to create this ePortfolio using Google Drive or Google Sites; a public website cannot include student images or names.
