Portfolio

As part of a results-oriented approach to teacher preparation, the MAT Program requires each student to complete an electronic portfolio and submit it for review prior to graduation and recommendation for licensure. The purpose of the portfolio is to:

  • Meet the Graduate School requirement for a Master's thesis and examination
  • Assist you in securing:
    • licensure in those states that require portfolios
    • a link to National Board Certification
    • appropriate and desirable teaching positions
  • Demonstrate competency outcomes in both the program and in its graduates
  • Provide the MAT Program with information on its ongoing development in the preparation of teachers

The portfolio will demonstrate development and will therefore be produced over the course of the year, not as a final project.
