Portfolio Presentation
The presentation sequence is broken down into five parts and will
take approximately one hour and twenty minutes. The parts of the presentation
include the following:
- Presentation Preparation and Practice
- The Portfolio Presentation
- Questions from Review Team Members
- Review Team Deliberation
- Portfolio Feedback
These parts of the presentation sequence are explained in the
five sections of the Presentation Phase. Included in some sections
are video clips that you may view to become more comfortable with
the presentation process.
Preparation
Prior to your presentation, you will have about twenty minutes
to prepare and practice for your presentation. This is the time
to become comfortable with the room, the equipment, and to download
the files you will need during your presentation.
While you are busy preparing, the review team will be meeting
in another room to compare and discuss the preliminary ratings given
during their pre-assessment of your portfolio. If the team members
have given different ratings on a section of your portfolio, the
ratings will be discussed and the team will prepare a list of questions
for further explanation.
Presentation
This is the time to demonstrate the knowledge and skills you
have learned and developed as an educator through the program and
your student teaching experience. You will have no more than thirty
minutes to present your portfolio. Your portfolio presentation should
include the following:
- Introduction of yourself and your internship placement
- A brief summary of your educational philosophy
- A discussion of your strongest attributes as an educator connected
to your educational philosophy
- A discussion of your strongest attributes as an educator
- A discussion of your attributes in need of further development
and your professional development plans for reaching those goals
- If time allows you may also want to present other areas or aspects
of your portfolio
Questioning
During this time, the review team members will ask you questions
about your knowledge, skills, and/or your presentation.
Expect both questions specific to you portfolio presentation and
general questions about teaching. After a question is asked it is
appropriate to ask for a moment to think before answering the question.
Answer the specific questions asked and use examples from your portfolio
whenever possible when answering questions.
After the questions have been asked, you will be excused to allow
the review team time for deliberation.
Deliberation
The review team will have about ten minutes to deliberate. They
will review and discuss your presentation and answers to the questions
to determine your final scores. The review team will also rate your
oral presentation providing recommendations and commendations.
Feedback
The review team will invite you back into the presentation room
for the feedback session. The reviewers will discuss the strengths
of your portfolio and presentation and will offer their recommendations
and any requirements they feel are necessary.
If you are given requirements, the review team will clearly explain
them at this time. They will also answer any questions you might
have about the requirements.
If you do not understand the comments suggested by the review team,
have any questions about the ratings or comments, or strongly disagree,
request an appointment with the chair of your review committee to
discuss these issues.
Following the feedback session, you will meet with the presentation
coordinator who will provide you with a copy of the notes, recommendations,
and/or requirements for your portfolio.
