Your portfolio is being developed to represent your education and knowledge acquired at UW-L. A generic definition for a portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student’s efforts, progress and achievements. It is NOT a scrapbook, not a place to collect and save everything. Instead it should be a thoughtful selection of artifacts that reflect your current and future activities in your profession. It is a reflection of who you are and eventually reflects your professional commitments and knowledge.

If you are an education major, UW-L has further defined an Education Electronic Portfolio to be a reflection of your education at UW-L which portrays your completion of the teaching standards as defined by your specific degree. After completing the standards as portrayed in your portfolio, you will be recommended for certification. The School of Education has created several Templates for education students to use when creating their portfolio. Also at this site you can find the evaluation forms.
