TaskStream Portfolio Interview Explained

TaskStream Portfolio Interview Explained If you are watching this video, you have started a TaskStream account and develop a presentation portfolio and an evaluation portfolio. You’ve learn in ETF 203 or 310 that you must be admitted to the College of Education to continue. One of the activities that must be completed in order to be accepted into the College of Ed or to be considered for the College of Ed is the portfolio interview. If you make it through the gate of being admitted, your portfolio will be reviewed two more times. That will be during methods and students teaching. Each of those three times for admission, for methods, and student teaching, and some of your programs where you don’t call it method for student teaching but you have a program that similar to that. For each of those three interviews and portfolio reviews, there is a form inside of your evaluation portfolio that will be use by your evaluation team which is your faculty adviser and one or more other faculty to evaluate what your progress is. If you would like to see a copy of this, you need to go to Web Folio builder. Go to your DRF. Remember that is where your evaluation portfolio is housed because I have to help to develop this evaluation programs that I have several in my account. We’re going to look at the elementary evaluation portfolio. Your evaluation portfolio works as a place to put one project or assignment for each course that you take between EDF 103 and 203 in the end of your program. Each evaluation portfolio looks different according to what your major is. The evaluation portfolio is divided into the gates that I was telling you about. In each gate you have a portfolio review. If you click on portfolio review one which is the interview that you will have to look at your presentation portfolio before you are considered for admission to the College of Ed. If you click on that and click on evaluation method, you can view the program that will be use. There are three different scores that you can possibly receive from each of the criteria, unacceptable, acceptable and target. These are terms that are use within that indicate accreditation standard. The unacceptable has a value of zero. All the way up through target which has a value of two. In looking through these items, you will find out that the first five are actually interview question that will be asked and in a moment we will look at the bank of questions from which your review team will choose those questions. Question number one, they choose from a technology category, question two knowledge/Kentucky education. Number three, diversity; four, pedagogy or the way in which we teach. Question five is now on reflection. These are not by accident in these categories. They are the five parts of our Eastern Kentucky University, College of Education conceptual frame work. Then we will look at that bank of question in just a moment. You are not going to be a passive participant in your portfolio interview. It will actually be your responsibility to present your portfolio and to discuss with your interview team what you’ve learned and how you are coming along. So, you will get graded according to oral presentation as far as speaking skills, clarity. You will get points for creativity in your presentation. You will be scored according to pieces that are to be in your evaluation portfolio at that time. Of course, there will be more things in there for the last two portfolio interviews than the first one. Your presentation portfolio you design and you will be scored according how professional and creative that design is. Spell and grammar, all of these things are very important to becoming an educator. That will be looked at in your content as far as what information you have. You will be scored according to, if your presentation portfolio items are appropriately place within standards. Do you have an appropriate number of projects than your presentation portfolio according to whether you are in your first, second, or third portfolio review? Are your reflections such that they show an ability and willingness to strive for best practice through reflection? And whether assigned or not through the classes that you take you will need to make sure that for every portfolio review, you have technology proficiency. You have to demonstrate that. You need to show that you can use presentation software which might be PowerPoint. That you can use spreadsheets and we do have a spreadsheet in our presentation portfolios as far as the field experience and standard to the glance so that shouldn’t be hard. You need to show evidence of publishing, software expertise, web page development, hyper links and again a lot of these are evidence through the development of the portfolio itself. Technology proficiency for bibliographies and/or web quest that might just to be a page of links that student would use. Graphics, you get credit for that every time you add a clip art or photograph and digital imaging that goes along with this, and students use of technology. This can include presentations that you’ve used in your college classes. So, whether there are standard or not especially when you are ready for your review after 203. You need to make sure that you hit all of those points to get full credit. At this point, we’re going to close the portfolio review form and we are going to go to our resource manager, cybrary, portfolio materials. Within portfolio material you will find, the bank of interviews questions that you need to study to get ready for your interviews. As briefly we talk about before, the questions are organized according to that EKU stay away conceptual frame work, knowledge, dispositions, diversity, technology, and pedagogy. Five questions will be chosen by your interview committee during each of your three portfolio meetings and at least one question has to come from diversity. Additionally a Kentucky education category has been added. It’s important to prepare for your interview that even more important is to become familiar with a lot of these questions because we guarantee that you will be asked this in interviews for a job. That concludes the review of the questions that might possibly be asked during your interview. If you have any questions, please see your adviser or at the Admissions Office and it comes 423.
