In this credential program, professors always refer you to your "real" jobs, meaning they're trying to make you think how would you apply what you just learned when we actually start teaching. So, one of the BIG THINGS they're requiring from us is creating our own professional portfolio of things we have done. Before all this, I thought professional portfolios were only for artists and financial investors. But I guess, it goes for every profession. So now, for BOTH of our classes, the Reading/Literacy class and the Curriculum/Methods class, we have to create 2 portfolios that would demonstrate how we can synthesize the information we are hopefully absorbing.
Today in class, we talked about how we are expected to organize and write out our professional portfolio. It seems easy, it's just a lot of work. Honestly, the workload can feel overwhelming many times but I know the rewards of actually doing it is far greater. So, in doing this I'm already thinking that I hope when I actually interview for a job in the near future I will be able to use these portfolios and have them as a way for me to review all the things I learned in school. So all I got do is pull it out of the bag, 'cause it's all in there.
