What is a portfolio?

An accumulation of evidence about individual proficiencies, especially in relation to explicit standards and rubrics, used in evaluation of competency as a teacher or in another professional school role. Contents might include end-of-course evaluations and tasks used for instructional or student teaching experience purposes such as projects, journals and observations by faculty, videos, comments by school and clinical faculty, and samples of student work. Portfolios can be electronic or hard copy versions.

As an undergraduate, I spent four years studying meteorology with some of the finest faculty in the country and enjoyed it so much that I decided to stay for my Graduate degree. Plymouth State offered me a great opportunity to explore the field with internships at places like Mount Washington Observatory and the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium, all while providing a more personalized college experience.
