The Value of a Professional Teacher Portfolio, by Jane Warnock

The objective is not to create outstanding portfolios, but rather to cultivate outstanding teaching and learning (Wolf, 1996).

This free webinar facilitated by Jane Warnock will provide insights and aha moments as to why every teacher should have a Professional Portfolio.

A Portfolio is a place to be reflective, capturing those significant teaching moments regardless of where you are in your journey of being a teacher. 

Triangulation Reflection Model

Using the three steps within a ‘Triangulation Reflection Model’, Jane will share the ‘why, how, what, where, with, and who’ that comes with having a Professional Portfolio.

Strategies such as aligning to the Code and The Standards for the Profession, unpacking apperception, drawing on Teaching as Inquiry, describing metacognition in action, reflectively thinking on practice and other reflective approaches will be shared in light of your own Professional Portfolio.

The webinar will also capture the significance of your Portfolio evolving over time and of which describes your journey of teaching through documented evidence.

Impact on You

There is always a reason as to ‘why we do what we do’ in the early childhood education world and this webinar provides just the pathway in seeing the necessity and value of your own Professional Portfolio and where you will come to see your Portfolio as a valuable exercise and not just ‘something else you have to do’.
