Portfolio

The portfolio definitely enhances my professional growth. The portfolio has encouraged me to look at where I have been, where I am, and where I am going. It is easy to just take my experiences for granted. The portfolio is helping me look at the value of each experience. It has also helped me realize what professional areas I need to strengthen. The biggest way that it has enhanced my professional growth is by making me really think about my professional experiences. I have also realized that the portfolio can be useful for my students. It could be used to help my students think about their educational experiences. It is important that students reflect on their experiences. I also realize that a portfolio can be a valuable resource for my students. It would be impressive for them to have a portfolio to present to employers.

  1. Riley,

    The portfolio is definitely an excellent way to display your professional growth. Like a road map it allows us to see where we started, where we have been and decide where we are headed. It is very useful in our career planning and presentation. Going forward this will be essential for the students and workers of tomorrow.

    Thanks,
    Ron

  2. Hi, Riley - I agree that a portfolio will impress employers, particularly in a field such as yours where they have not become as common as in some other areas. I know your employers will be impressed by the professionalism and depth of information, and the reflection of the quality of your program as well.
