what was it about? Reflection – what did you learn?)
• Artifacts: student teaching reports, notes, lesson examples, activities, ICT items…
• Classroom Management plan?• Sell yourself – include things you have done
that might get you an interview/job
Remember!This is a dynamic, evolving artifact. Keep it:
• current, • workable (no broken links), • dynamic, • aesthetically pleasing, • simple/clear navigation, • use colour, graphics, • include REFLECTIONS! • Remember the audience!
