Your experience at GTCC will be especially valuable to you, and the ease with which you find a
teaching job will be enhanced, if, during the course of your teaching and learning here, you will
create a notebook containing evidence that you have mastered the FIT Program competencies.
The portfolio will be subject to a mid-semester review & my final evaluation.
This notebook, your teaching portfolio, should contain at least the following items:
• A list of the FIT Program competencies & an overview of what your duties were while
you worked here. These will be signed by your mentors and by me when you have
demonstrated mastery of the competencies.
• An essay explaining how your experience here has changed, strengthened, and/or
reconfigured your attitudes about community College, your students, and teaching at this
level, in general;
• Assignments you have written, together with samples of graded student responses;
• Reflections on your college service work—what it has been, what, if anything, you have
learned from it, how it might have been improved, etc.;
• Copies of everything you have done in connection with our seminars, together with
explanatory notes providing background and your critical response to these experiences.
Have you developed a PowerPoint presentation or responded to a lesson on Blackboard,
for example? Have you delivered an individual report on some subject in your
discipline?
• Copies of at least 3 lesson plans you have written throughout the semesters demonstrating
inclusion of employability skills.
You should present these materials clearly & attractively & in durable form suitable for copying
& inclusion in future job applications. |
