Science Educator Portfolio
- Start with the principled procedures and select artifacts (possible artifact list for each principled procedure) that have specific information to support your abilities to implement each procedure.
- List artifacts for each principled procedure and briefly describe how each demonstrates the principled procedure for science educators.
- The portfolio should list each principled procedure, identify artifacts used to demonstrate each, and provide an explanation for how and/or why the author believes it does (sample format with bullets) (sample format with artifacts in chart).
- Major artifacts may be referenced in multiple principled procedures as appropriate. An explanation for what the artifact demonstrates should be different and specific for each principled procedure where the artifact is referenced. Be selective.
Bonus information for a real portfolio
Whole artifacts that are included, such as video tapes, should have a cover sheet with specific references as to where to find the specific place(s) being referenced; in addition to the explanation of how it demonstrates each specific referenced principled procedure.
Tabs, labels, and highlighting should be used so that information can be located quickly. Employers will not take time searching for information.
Parts of an artifact may be incorporated (one or two reflections from a semester journal).
How well did you do?
Is your portfolio include information that would lead a principal to select you as the key person in this scenario?
> Mini lecture - mini lecture on some ways to represent science literacy and what an outstanding science educator needs to know and be able to do.
> Identify artifacts and describe how they or parts of them are evidence of your demonstration of the principled procedures for science educators. - Explanations and starter documents
