Here’s a couple of questions that came in about M.Ed. Portfolios. Note that this “answer” may not apply to Ed.S. Portfolios.
Q: Is there a hardcopy version?
A: No. All online! If you still see any references to hard copy in any of our online materials, please point out to me; these are “throwbacks” to olden times.
Q. In looking at your Unofficial Portfolio Checklist and the winter grad portfolios, I noticed that not everything on your sheet is listed as a separate item on the webpages. Do you now want a separate link/page for each item? For example, “unique characteristics” and “life goals,” and even “vision/philosophy” could be included in the Autobiography: Educational background. Do you want separate links for each item?
A. Not necessarily. You really have a lot of freedom in how you organize this. However, no one should feel obligated to create an entirely new structure. Neither should you feel obligated to include links for every little element.
Saturday, feel free to bring up all questions related to Portfolios, since this will be our last meeting before the drafts are due.
