What this portfolio attempts to show
The purpose of this portfolio is to
promote myself as a professional in the field of TESOL
(teaching English to speakers of other languages - often
equated with or associated with ESOL Education, Bilingual
Education, ESL, EFL, SLA, and Applied Linguistics). I hope
that this portfolio will show where I am in my current state
of professional development in this field and how far I have
come. I also hope that, by making this portfolio, I can make
information about myself available to any potential employers
or people needing consultation. But most of all, I hope that
by making this portfolio I can learn about myself as a TESOL
professional, reflect on my own development, and consider my
choices for the future.
How this portfolio is
organized
| This portfolio is organized according to the
TESOL/NCATE Standards for the Accreditation of Initial
Programs in P-12 ESL Teacher Education. These national
standards were developed to guide teacher development
programs in the development of their teacher candidates.
Each section of my portfolio represents a different
standard. By clicking any of the standards listed in the
column on the left side of this page, one can read about
the standards, learn how I adhere to them as a TESOL
professional, and view documents to support my claims.
| note: |
| These standards were copywritten by Teachers
of English to Speakers of Other Languages, Inc.
(TESOL) in 2002.
