Below are guidelines for this section of your portfolio. When you’re ready, delete the text on this page and replace with your own content.

You should include three portraits based on three different CUPs. We’ve used the idea of portrait here to emphasize that we are interested in an illustration of a whole teaching and learning experience. Each portrait should illustrate:

• what you did, why and how (you might refer back to your philosophy & growth section);
• what kids learned, how you know and what the significance of that learning is;
• and, finally, what you learned from the experience.

Examples

• Use a CUP as the starting point for thinking about each portrait. You do not need to include your whole CUP; but by all means cut, paste and build on what is appropriate for the sub-sections.
• Include your learning activities. Include some images, student assignments, video, etc., to illustrate what you did and what happened.
• Be sure to give at least two examples of student work and your analysis of it (refer to a rubric if you used one or to other criteria).
• Pretty much everything above applies (and you can refer to the same examples if appropriate)
