An artifact I received at the end of practicum 491 was a beautiful book by Parker Palmer called The Courage to Teach, Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher’s Life. A gift like this is extremely special to me because not only do I enjoy reading, but I respect and value everything my coaching teacher has taught me. This book was something she had to read during her teaching program and a book she uses to this day in her practice. I look forward to reading this book over Christmas break before starting my new career in January in Mackenzie, B.C.
“Whoever our students may be, whatever the subject we teach, ultimately we teach who we are” -Parker Palmer
This section is a holding space for you to keep specific artifacts and accompanying reflections that you believe are relevant to the other tabs in your eportfolio. You will also want to include artifacts that demonstrate your personal and scholarly growth. You will add to and delete artifacts from this section over time. ePortfolio includes an about me space, a blog, and a space for artifacts. The ePortfolio is a space for students to decide what they want to show case and explore, so this template is just a starting point for students.
The point of the ePortfolio is for the student to think and see how their identity, culture, and education are interconnected. Students have a space to reflect on their learning, experiences, identity, and culture. Students can make their learning visible, to see their progress and to set goals for the future.
