Berkeley Global
Use your experience in the classroom to demonstrate proficiency through the development of portfolio projects. The course contains a discussion of a complete curriculum plan for the course or subject taught, including goals, objectives, daily lesson plan, classroom materials, teaching strategies and student-assessment materials.
The Portfolio serves as a tool to provide evidence that you have demonstrated proficient performance in all competency areas of the credential program. It is an authentic assessment procedure that allows teacher candidates to set personal learning goals, assess growth and progress toward demonstration of the identified program competencies.
