Physical Education Teacher Prep |
Electronic Porfolios at FSU
Florida State University requires physical education preservice teachers to document their competency with respect to Florida's Twelve Pre-professional Accomplished Practices by developing electronic portfolios.
Drs. Lynn and Walsdorf at Florida State University require three types of teaching portfolios which include a working presentation, and employment portfolio. The sections in the portfolio are based on Florida's Twelve Pre-professional Accomplished Practices: Assessment, Communication, Continuous Improvement, Critical Thinking, Diversity, Ethics, Human Development, Knowledge of Subject Matter, Learning Environments, Planning, Role of the Teacher, and Technology.
See examples of portfolios from the senior
class and junior
class. You can also see pictures
and videos of pre-service teachers in third stage game level
peer teaching experience.
