You will develop all of the content needed for the Master's Portfolio during your program. Listed below are the required documents of the electronic portfolio, followed by the related Duke Knowledge, Skills and Dispositions (KSDs) the document fulfills. KSDs are mapped to North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards. In the text below, the term "intern" refers to you – the graduate student.

| 8. Samples of high school students' work. This student work should be connected to the Fall Unit Plan (#6 above) and/or the assessment strategies described in #7 above. | Completed in MAT 741S and MAT 742S | Fulfills #2, 4 |
| 9. Analysis and Reflection on Impact of Student Learning. During the fall internship, the intern identifies three students who are struggling, assesses the specific barriers to the students’ success, designs and implements interventions for each student, and describes the effectiveness of the interventions. | Completed in MAT 741S | Fulfills #1, 4, 5 |
