Portfolios provide teacher candidates with a way to
demonstrate mastery of required standards. It is expected
that products will be created in various courses and
assembled into a Livetext portfolio as evidence of mastery of
the standards.
While portfolio formats vary among programs, students who
take CIS 220/Computers and Teaching will use Livetext to
create the appropriate portfolio in that class and begin
adding products that address some of the National
Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T).
These national technology standards have been adopted by the
state of North Carolina as the technology standards required
of all NC teachers. Products will be added in subsequent
courses to address additional standards.

-
You will incorporate your products, created in each
required course, into a comprehensive portfolio that
addresses Elon's Teacher Education Conceptual Framework
and other standards that North Carolina expects you to meet
including technology standards.
-
The portfolio template you use will be organized according
to the Conceptual Framework and will have products listed
from various courses, and you will simply attach or link to
them in the designated locations.
-
After setting up your portfolio in CIS 220, you will be
instructed in subsequent courses regarding what products to
add and where in your portfolio up through your student
teaching semester at which time the portfolio will be
assessed.
-
You will incorporate your products, created in each

-
The portfolio template that you use will be organized by
the national middle grades standards and will have products
listed from various courses, and you will simply attach or
link to them in the designated locations.

After setting up your portfolio in CIS 220, you will be

-
You will turn in a technology portfolio that demonstrates
your mastery of the National
Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T)
that have also been adopted by the state of North Carolina.
-
The portfolio template that you use will be organized by
the six technology standards, and while you will begin
adding products in Computers and Teaching, standards that
require you to demonstrate your ability to use technology
in your teaching cannot be addressed until you are actually
creating lesson plans in methods and other courses with
field experiences including student teaching. Thus you will
need to add products created in those courses as evidence
of mastery of some of the standards. You will also need to
write a reflection for each of the six standards that
addresses your choice of products and why they meet that
standard.
-
Handouts to guide you through the process will be
distributed in Computers and Teaching or can be downloaded
here.
-
Begin with the handout named Ideas for Products
that lists the standards on one page and then on
additional pages, describes appropriate and suggested
products for each standard. Collect your products and
attach or link to them in Livetext. (This is generally
printed for distribution on green paper).
-
Next use the Technology Portfolio
Rubric that will be used to assess your work,
making sure that you have adequate products for at
least the "meets" column of the rubric. (This
is generally printed for distribution on yellow paper).
-
Finally, use the handout named Reflection Guidelines to
guide you as you write a reflection for each of the six
standards. (This is generally printed for distribution
on pink
paper).
-
The deadline for submitting your portfolio for its final
review is mid-term of your student teaching semester.
-
If your dual licensure is in elementary education, you will
complete a single portfolio similar to the one described
above for elementary education; however, the template you
will use will have places for additional products specific
to your special education courses to demonstrate your
mastery of the special education standards.
-
If your dual licensure is in middle grades, you will
complete the middle grades portfolio as described above. In
addition, you will create a second portfolio from a
template that includes only your special education courses
where you will add products to demonstrate your mastery of
the special education standards.
-
If your dual licensure is in a high school subject area,
you will complete a technology portfolio as described above
for other high school licensure areas. In addition, you
will create a second portfolio from a template that
includes only your special education courses where you will
add products to demonstrate your mastery of the special
education standards.
