Getting Noticed as an Educator

As an educator, it can be difficult to stand out to your future employer as a motivated and unique educator. In our music program at Plymouth, we are required to create an electronic portfolio to provide to our future employers, and it displays the teaching standards for New Hampshire, and provides examples from our four years of college proving that we met them. Just because other schools are not required to do it, that doesn't mean it shouldn't get done!

In a teaching portfolio, we display our writing, composition, elementary music methods, secondary music methods, personal musicianship, resume and teaching philosophy, instrumental music, choral music, lesson plans, and a photo gallery! It sounds like a lot, but it is an amazing collection of your hardest work throughout college!

This doesn't have to be restricted to music, any profession can utilize the impact of an electronic portfolio!

I used Wix for mine, because it allows me to upload a ton of content for free!

How would you utilize a portfolio?!
