How will you select pieces from your working portfolio to include in your professional portfolio? Who is the audience for this portfolio?
Portfolios may take on different forms and contents, depending on their purposes, authors, and audiences. This exercise will help you think about your own purpose in constructing a professional portfolio. Please write the pieces of this assignment, and all portfolio assignments, with your individual goals and professional path in the early childhood field at its core.
You will design your professional portfolio based on the requirements of your degree program. You will write your portfolio for a real, professional audience that will read your portfolio to find out more about who you are as a professional, what you have accomplished in your field, and what you are equipped to take on in the next steps in your professional career.
For this assignment, you will draft three important pieces of a portfolio. Those three pieces are:
Portfolio Preface (100-250 words)
About the Author (100-250 words)
Teaching/Administrative Philosophy (100-250 words)
Chapters 1 and 2 of How to Develop a Professional Portfolio, 6th Ed. will help you to complete this exercise. Chapters 1 and 2 provide strategies for thinking about the “hows” and “whys” of professional portfolio design. Please refer to these chapters as you complete this assignment. Refer directly to the textbook, in your own writing, as needed.
