Portfolio |
The
portfolio will consist of nine or ten papers
(one for each course) composed of the following
two parts. Each paper should be written at the
conclusion of each course.
- A summary of an assignment, project or a course experience that was especially meaningful.
- A self-reflective statement that discusses
how the course contributes to the student's
ability to become a more effective educator
and lifelong learner. This part should also
discuss how the student plans to apply what
they have learned from this course.
At the conclusion
of all course work, the student prepares a
summary statement that describes how the overall
program has contributed to them professionally
as an educator and lifelong learner.
The portfolio
will be reviewed by a faculty committee of the International
Teaching program to determine if it has met the requirements stated above
and will receive a Pass/Fail grade. It will be filed in the
C. Louis Cedrone International Education Center at Framingham State
College. Students should submit the portfolio within seven days
after their final course. The degree will not be granted until the portfolio has been accepted and graded.
