I have mixed feelings regarding the portfolio assessment in regards to teaching. While the portfolio is important, the ability to teach in front of a classroom and reach students is still most critical for a teacher. Standards are so dominant now, and combined with the increasing presence of technology, on-line portfolios are becoming more important as assessment tools.
While encompassing a lot of work, a good portfolio does show a commitment of wanting to present yourself in a good light and the ability to complete a long-term task. I'm glad that we are able to edit the portfolio as our education continues. Thoughts regarding educations and the standards that make up the field will most likely change as we progress through the Xavier program.
