Requirements - Section 3

What to include in Section 3

Section 3 is the largest and most important part of your portfolio effort. Most items will probably be in text form, but you may include graphics, audio, and /or video materials. This Section will contain from 12-35 items which demonstrate your teaching competencies prior to the Professional Semester and then you will add to, replace items, or edit existing items during the Professional Semester and your Teaching Internship experience. You will complete a "Brief Reflection Form" for each item of evidence included in Sections three (3) and four (4).

As indicated in previous pages these entries will be based upon:
