portfolio
By Newbie

My portfolio is huge, and I really don't use it at interviews. Instead, I give them an electronic copy and leave some items (lesson plans, letters of rec., pictures, etc.) with them to look at after the interview. That
way they can have something to remember me by after they finish all of the interviews.
As far as what I actually put in my portfolio:
- Resume
- Background info about myself
- My favorite lesson plans with pictures
- Projects and pictures completed by my students
- Evaluations
- Transcript
- Certification exam scores
- Teaching certificate
- Recommendation

letters
- Letters from parents, students, colleagues

If you go to the INTASC website, there is a list of standards. I used this list to help me decide what to include. For example, one of the standards is about assessment, so I include different activities that I used to assess students' learning. My portfolio is organized by standards.
