  1. Social Studies Teacher Interview Portfolio

  2. Aesthetics: Superficial, but necessary • Organize – In a binder, use dividers and plastic page covers. • Include pictures if possible. • Keep it simple to browse through (You are the most important person in the world, but the committee/administrator doesn’t know this yet.) • Bring (ten+/-) copies of important items to hand out to the committee.

  3. Essential Components: • Unit of Instruction/Lesson Plans: A. Assessment B. Differentiation C. Integration D. Reflection • Student Work • Using Technology in the Classroom • Parent/Community Involvement • Extra-Curricular Activities • Philosophy/Professional affiliations *This assumes you have your resume, cover letter, transcripts, letters of recommendation

  4. Sample Lessons/Unit • Standards covered (GLE’s?) • Understanding by Design model • Essential Question (What do you want the students to know?) • Assessment (Your lessons lead to this) • Individual lessons/activities/projects

  5. Understanding by Design Filters Filter 1: To what extent does the idea, topic, or process represent a "big idea" having enduring value beyond the classroom? Filter 2: To what extent does the idea, topic, or process reside at the heart of the discipline? Filter 3: To what extent does the idea, topic, or process require uncoverage? Filter 4: To what extent does the idea, topic, or process offer potential for engaging students?

  6. Assessment Example • Traditional (especially for high school) • Project • Writing Prompt • Choices – Differentiation

  7. Differentiation • Multiple Intelligences or different learning styles (One size doesn’t fit all) • Analyzing Columbus Example

  8. Integration of Content: Interdisciplinary & Intradisciplinary • Interdisciplinary – Ex: literacy strategies, trade books, interpreting graphs, using and understanding statistics, etc. • Intradisciplinary – incorporating geography, economics, history, political science, etc. into a unit of instruction.

  9. Reflection • There is always room for improvement • Identify your weaknesses • Modify during and after

  10. Student Work = Evidence • Examples: • Rough drafts, final drafts • Writing responses to journals • Tests • Projects • Pictures/video of students working *Include Rubrics or Criteria Sheets

  11. Using Technology in the Classroom • Using the Internet to research part of a project. • PowerPoint presentations to class. • Blogging • Class website • Email listserve • Video Streaming • Video Conferencing…

  12. Parent/Community Involvement • Correspondence – letters, email, phone log, agenda signing. • Parent conferences – traditional, student-led conferences, portfolio presentations, potluck dinners. • PTSA attendance • Improving Our Community Project Example (also: letters to government officials)

  13. Extra-Curricular Activities • Club advisory – ex: Student Council, Homework clubs, etc. • Coaching – assist/volunteer • Participation in faculty or department meetings.

  14. Philosophy/Professional Affiliations • Your educational philosophy • Organizations you belong to, like NCSS. • Published articles? Paper in college… • Professional literature/article important to you. • ***This would demonstrate your commitment to the field.
