How am I assessed in CFC’s Teacher Certification Program?
A Professional Teaching Portfolio will be an ongoing project for each participant in the TCP. The portfolio will include information from multiple sources and will introduce and present the teacher as a professional. Personal information about the teacher will include an autobiography, resume, professional goals and objectives, educational philosophy, evidence of subject matter knowledge, evidence of pedagogical knowledge, and any noteworthy awards or honors. Evaluations, a classroom management plan, original lesson plans, and a video of a lesson will provide documentation of the teacher’s accomplishments. The portfolio will also include the teacher’s perspectives on teaching. Reflections, school/student profiles, and documentation of other experiences will conclude the portfolio. Upon completion, the portfolio will be used as an assessment of the teacher and will also serve as validation of work accomplished, as material for analysis and reflection, and as an interview supplement.
