EDCI 564 — The Comprehensive Portfolio: 1-15 Credits (1-7 Lec, 1-8 Lab)
(F, Sp) Graduate students in the MAT program only. This course guides the process of creating the capstone Comprehensive Portfolio in which students summarize all of their learning from the program and demonstrate how that learning has manifested in the success of the K-12 learners they teach. We study the use of portfolios as a mechanism for authentic assessment of professional practice by various professional organizations. Students engage in self-critique, peer evaluations, and the professional evaluation of your portfolio by faculty and other professional evaluators, and model the habits of self-study, reflection, and critique expected of teachers as life-long learners.
