Electronic Portfolio

If you are a Mathematics Education major, you must create an electronic portfolio before being admitted to the College of Education (Step 1). You will continue to add to your portfolio until graduation. These instructions explain how to prepare your portfolio using the templates below.

Templates and Samples

Download the portfolio template for Secondary Math Education and then follow the instructions below to create your own personal portfolio.

Sabrina Chmel kindly allowed us to use her portfolio as a sample. Of course, you do not need to build your portfolio to match hers. But you may use her portfolio to see one possible way of meeting the electronic portfolio requirements.

Instructions

Sabrina Chmel wrote these instructions to accompany a workshop that she conducted on creating electronic portfolios. You may also view her PowerPoint presentation for the workshop. Faculty have added a few minor comments to her instructions based on questions from students.
