Can You Assist Student(s) Market Their Skills and Competencies through Electronic Portfolio(s)?.
The most effective “best practice” that is available to support the reflective process and to move students to higher levels of learning and academic achievement coupled with the ability to effectively demonstrate acquired skills is the use of the electronic portfolio. The Florida A&M University Professional Education Unit has adopted an electronic “process portfolio model,” to assist students in meeting the twelve standards described as the Florida Accomplished Practices. The twelve Florida competencies include: Assessment, Communication, Critical Thinking, Continuous Improvement, Learning Environments, Planning, Role of the Teacher, and Technology. The electronic portfolio documents the development of pre-service teachers against these competencies, over a three and a half year period. The electronic portfolio was chosen as one means of assessing students because it is a type of authentic assessment that allows students to illustrate their learning through multiple forms of evidence
