EDU221StandardsPortfolioExemplars

These standards portfolios are a work in progress by UMF students and you should not model your portfolio or your portfolio submissions exactly after any other student's work--you need to make it your own. However, you can feel free to be inspired by portions of other students' work.

__From Fall 2016, in alphabetical order__

[|Adam] has a great "about" page, which is not required but is a nice addition. He highlights the summary of the standard at the top of each page, which is also a nice addition (and is very effective).

[|Christa] writes rationale statements and introductions to the artifacts and standards in a way that a global reader who doesn't know anything about EDU 221 could figure out what she accomplished and how it shows her proficiency towards the standard.

[|Jake] made the URLs to his standards that weren't uploadable files into a small black text box. It's a visually appealing technique. The rest of his portfolio is also visually attractive and has a nice user interface. (Contents are good, too!)

[|Jessica] has great content...she writes really well and presents her case very convincingly.

[|Josline] has a great home page and a citations page (and you know how Dr. Theresa loves a good citation page). A great website starts with a great home page.

[|Miranda] wanted a portfolio for all of her teaching-related work and made the standards portfolio a part of that. She will be able to add other work down the line to this portfolio.

[|Owen] writes the way he talks...you can hear his voice as you read it. It doesn't sound like some third party person wrote it about a generic standard. His writing is concise, to the point, and well thought out.

[|Zac] has a great "about" page, which is not required but is a nice addition. He presents the purpose of the whole standards portfolio very well. His rationale statements are also quite convincing and yet written in a very "Zac" way.
