I CONGRESO DE IDIOMAS 2015

Jorge Balladares Burgos

WHAT IS A TEACHING PORTFOLIO?• It is a tool that is intended to

demonstrate the responsibilities, challenges, philosophy and tasks assigned to the teacher.

• It is a factual description of a professor’s teaching strengths and accomplishments. It includes documents and materials that collectively suggest the scope and quality of a professor’s teaching performance(Seldin, 2011).

WHY WOULD I PREPARE A TEACHING PORTFOLIO?

• The portfolio is to teaching what lists of publications, grants, and honors are to research and scholarship.

• It allows faculty members to display their teaching accomplishments for examination by others.

• In the process, it contributes both to sounder personnel decisions and to the professional development of individual faculty members (Seldin, 1991)
