The object of the portfolio is to gather and reflect on the meaningful evidence of what you’ve learned and accomplished from your PFE. Your portfolio will contain the following items, many of which are separately graded.

 

• A table of contents. (Specify % assigned to each assignment; this should match your final approved agreement. Specify assignment(s) to be graded for professional ethics outcome.)
• Separately graded items:
• A copy of your approved agreement.
• Your completed PFE journal.
• Your selection of your most significant posts to the Sakai discussion.
• Your poster session (content of poster; handout; talking points or transcript of short “speech”).
• Sections graded as part of the “structure of the portfolio” include several brief essays:
• An essay to introduce the journal, summarizing what you did and how each of your major activities was intended to advance your desired educational outcomes.
• An essay to introduce your Sakai posts (optional; include if you would like to highlight significance of your contributions to discussion).
• A concluding essay, reflecting on what you achieved over the semester (both in terms of your contribution to service at your host site and in terms of your own professional growth).
• Any other material that you feel is helpful in describing, analyzing, and making sense of your semester’s journey.

Portfolios will be submitted online to TrueOutcomes. If you have work in different file formats (e.g., Word, PowerPoint, and Excel), you may submit more than one file as part of your portfolio; but please combine all files in any one format. You may want to use a combination of handout, transcript, and photos to document the poster session. Adapt your material with a view to preserving content, clarity, and convenient access. GSLIS retains portfolios for up to seven years.
