EDU 556 Developmental Prof Portfolio

The Portfolio in the Curriculum and Instruction Master's degree program is intended to afford the candidate the opportunity to demonstrate that she or he has met National Standards for Teacher Education. The portfolio is aligned with standards from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and National Board for Professional Teaching Core Propositions. The portfolio will be built over the course of the program in the Content and Pedagogy Core course work: EDU 503, EDU 540, EDU 550, and one School and Society elective course. Each candidate will be responsible for demonstrating that standards have been met through assignments and field experiences in the Curriculum and Instruction program. All candidates in the Curriculum and Instruction program are required to complete field work with pupils in four areas of diversity: linguistic diversity, socio-economic diversity, cultural diversity, and students with special needs. Candidates should register for this course during the semester in which they plan to complete the Portfolio, usually in the last semester of coursework. Students must obtain fingerprint clearance prior to beginning field experiences. Pass/Fail. Prerequisite: EDU 501. Open to Saint Rose students only. Fall, Spring, Summer. (0 credits)
