14 The Professional Preparation Portfolio Successful completion of a Professional Preparation Portfolio is required of all teacher education candidates at Missouri State in order to be recommended for initial certification to teach. This portfolio is a graphic anthology of a student s progress and performance in all coursework, practicum placements and student teaching experiences. The Professional Preparation Portfolio is also a medium by which the academic programs are evaluated for accreditation by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Teacher education students will receive guidance throughout their program from the instructors of their courses to help answer questions and maintain quality of the portfolio. There are three checkpoints scheduled throughout the sequence of courses taken in the teacher education program. The checkpoints are individual conferences held between students and instructors to assure that everything is in order and progressing satisfactorily toward meeting the Missouri Standards for Teacher Education Program (MoSTEP) quality indicators and subject area competencies. The first checkpoint occurs in SEC 302. PED 200, or MUS 200. The second will occur during the special methods courses or designated point in the degree program. The third and final checkpoint occurs during the student teaching semester. At that time the portfolio will be reviewed to determine if there is sufficient evidence to meet MoSTEP quality indicators and subject area competencies. Portfolio Checkpoint 1: ELE 302/SEC 302/PED 200/MUS 200* These artifacts are required and must be included within the portfolio at checkpoint 1: Professional Resume Clinical Placements Log Artifacts with cover sheets as assigned minimum of lesson plan and appropriate artifact cover sheet Evaluation of uploaded materials by faculty Portfolio Checkpoint 2: Special Methods Courses or Designated Point in Program A summary of general expectations for Portfolio Checkpoint 2 follows: Artifacts and artifact cover sheets required by the specialty area that reflect knowledge, skills and professional dispositions aligned with standards Professional Resume further developed Clinical Placement form completed to reflect additional experiences and outcomes Educational Philosophy Portfolio Checkpoint 3: Supervised Student Teaching Artifacts may be required and reviewed by the specialty area faculty, University Student Teaching Supervisor and cooperating teacher. A summary of expected content follows: Additional artifacts and artifact cover sheets as required in order to meet MoSTEP quality indicators and subject area competencies Professional resume completed Clinical placement form completed to reflect culminating experiences and outcomes Complete section IV of your portfolio (Student Teaching Evaluations) For additional help log on to the Missouri State PEU Website at *Students must consult with their departmental advisors concerning special requirements for artifact cover sheets. Limited examples follow.

15 Appendix 1: Portfolio Content and Requirements Access the portfolio website for further details at Candidates (students) starting the program in fall 2001 semester will be expected to develop the portfolio in an electronic format (web-based and/or zip disk or CD). There are four sections to the portfolio as noted below. Candidates that wish to maintain a hard copy of the portfolio, along with a copy in an electronic format, may purchase tabs that correspond to the following section at the University bookstore (Spring, 2002). The number and type of artifacts will correspond to the program assessment plan. See program faculty for guidance. Candidates should record progress toward meeting professional standards on the Portfolio Guide (see downloadable forms). Portfolio Sections Section I. Introduction Section I contains the professional education candidate s: Educational Philosophy Resume' Log of Clinical Placements assigned during the program (downloadable form) Section II. Professional Practice Section II includes artifacts that represent performances aligned to the Conceptual Framework (CF) MoSTEP and specialty area standards. Download a copy of the Portfolio Guide (replaces the old Table of Contents) specific to your area of study. The Portfolio Guide should be kept in Section II of the portfolio with artifacts reflecting the required standards placed after the guide. Candidates are expected to monitor progress toward standards on the Portfolio Guide (downloadable form). Artifacts that reflect the Missouri State (CF) Learner Outcomes, the MoSTEP Standards and the specialty area standards will be placed in Section II of the portfolio. Artifacts must be accompanied by anartifact Cover Sheet that documents the nature of the project as well as performances related to standards. (See downloadable forms to access the Artifact Cover Sheet and corresponding Directions for the Artifact Cover Sheet. Section III. Showcase Section III is the student Showcase Section. This is optional for students who elect to include items that will further illustrate their experiences in the professional education program as well as showcase mastery of professional standards and the Conceptual Framework general outcomes. Section IV. Field Evaluations This section should include practicum and student teaching field evaluations. See your program faculty for guidance regarding practicum materials and evaluations. For student teaching, include the evaluation of the cooperating teacher and the University supervisor of all placements in the student teaching semester.

16 APPENDIX 2: ABOUT THIS ARTIFACT - DIRECTIONS FOR THE ARTIFACT COVER SHEET Cover sheets should be attached to artifacts within the Professional Preparation Portfolio as directed by program faculty. The purpose of the cover sheet is to ensure reflection and review regarding performances related to the Missouri State Professional Education Unit (PEU) Conceptual Framework (CF), the MoSTEP standards and your Specialty Area standards. Information provided on the cover sheet yields evidence of your progress in meeting professional education standards.. Directions for completing the sections of the cover sheet follow. Title of artifact : Typically, an artifact will have a designated title. If it does not, provide a brief description or name. Date this artifact was collected : When was the item completed, graded, or made available for inclusion in the portfolio? If necessary, give a more general time, e.g. Fall Semester Course or experience where the artifact was developed : Provide both the course code and course title. If the item was not developed for a course, describe the experience corresponding to development. Quality indicators addressed by this artifact : Identify the quality indicators/learner outcomes that are represented within the artifact. Example: CF (add learner outcome and #) MoSTEP (add # and description) Specialty Area: Science Education (add # and description) Since there is commonality between the CF, the MoSTEP, and the Specialty Area Standards, it is typically appropriate to reference all three sets of standards on the cover sheet. See your program faculty for guidance if you have questions. Reflective Narrative : This section includes a summary of candidate performances that correspond to the quality indicator and learner outcomes listed. Use the performance indicators corresponding to each quality indicator as a guide. This section requires analysis and synthesis of performances related to standards and should be written as a narrative summary rather than a list. The narrative should document that you have demonstrated performances consistent with the CF Learner Outcomes, the MoSTEP and the Specialty Area standards noted above. Examples of completed Artifact Cover Sheets follow; however, you must seek guidance from program faculty regarding requirements specific to your area of study.
