What is a teaching portfolio?

“A collection of documents and other items that provides information about
different aspects of a teacher’s work. It serves to describe and document the
teacher’s performance, to facilitate professional development, and to provide a
basis for reflection and review.”
Jack Richards

PURPOSE
The RT Portfolio provides a demonstration of how a teacher approaches his or her
work and presents evidence of the teacher’s teaching philosophy, professionalism,
resourcefulness, creativity, effectiveness and collaborative work. It serves as a
source of review and reflection and promotes ongoing professional development.

Keeps all relevant information available for the RT,

coordinators and quality team
Minimises emails and attachments
Mirrors RT’s self-assessment and work for others
Maps RT’s PD objectives
Saves each RT´s history and experience with CEI

The RT "Dummy" Portfolio is

available in the
CEI Primary - Remote Teachers and
CEI Conversation Class - Remote
