Appendix A: Professional Teaching Portfolio
Your professional teaching portfolio is tangible evidence of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions you’ve developed in the EECE program. Your portfolio is a collection of exemplars that express your professional development over time. The purpose of creating a portfolio is to document your emerging professional competence and to allow you to reflect on your progress as a new teacher. The portfolio helps you set goals for professional development and is a graduation requirement for the EECE program.

Professional Teaching Portfolio
Teacher Candidate Cohort #
The Professional Teaching Portfolio provides candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to meet the knowledge, skills, and dispositions developed in the EECE Program. Candidates submit multiple exemplars with cover sheets for each of the five ACEI Standards. The five ACEI Standards indicate relevant Interstate Teacher Assessment Support Consortium (InTASC) standards. Candidates are expected to meet expectations for all the ACEI Elements for every ACEI Standard. Specific InTASC indicators are referenced on the attached alignment guide.
Candidates are to include at least three exemplars every semester. By the end of student teaching, the portfolio must:
Candidates may choose to exchange exemplars from previous semesters with newer exemplars if they believe more recent exemplars more effectively demonstrate their ability to meet a given ACEI Standard Element.

- include at least 2 exemplars for each of the following ACEI Standards: I, III, IV, and V
- include exemplars for ACEI Standard II that reflect the candidate’s ability to teach all seven content areas (an exemplar such as an integrated lesson or unit plan may count for more than one content area).
Candidates may choose to exchange exemplars from previous semesters with newer exemplars if they believe more recent exemplars more effectively demonstrate their ability to meet a given ACEI Standard Element.
