419 FINAL PORTFOLIO CHECKLIST

____X 1. Portfolio Rubric, filled out electronically (typed) for artifacts and self-rating (do not complete
columns for professors). Include one copy on your portfolio site and submit a second copy via MUOnline.
(File title should begin with your last name. Example: Nolte419Portfolio)

___X_ 2. Complete this CHECKLIST and check off items when you have completed and submitted
them (either placed them on your site or submitted to MUOnline where required).

___X_ 3. Complete a Portfolio Reflection. This is a major new document for the portfolio and requires
extensive writing and reflection. It asks you to reflect on your work from the class for the entire semester.

__X _ a. Re-read your attitudes, content knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge objectives for the
course, found on the Portfolio Rubric. (These are based on your professional standards from NCTE.)

___X_ b. Write a narrative Portfolio Reflection about what you have learned about your
professional attitudes, content knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge from your class work, lesson
planning, etc. Address each objective one by one. Create a section for each type of objective
(Attitudes, Content, Pedagogy). Describe how you feel you have mastered each objective using evidence
from artifacts in the portfolio to support your description. Remember to use VERY specific examples for
each claim you make about yourself. (You should approach this as an analytic and persuasive paper that
will require substantial evidence and argumentation. It is analytic in that you are analyzing your
semester and your own work. It is persuasive in that you are persuading me that your portfolio &
artifacts demonstrate the levels of mastery that you claim.)
