Prerequisite
Coursework
EDUC 422 prepares individuals entering the
teacher preparation program to begin the electronic
portfolio process. You will begin your portfolio in EDUC
422 by learning the skills and concentrating on
completing part of TPE 14 – Educational Technology. The
narrative development and completion of the remainder of
the portfolio is expected as you progress through the
teacher preparation program.Your portfolio will not be completed until your final
student teaching experience is well underway. However,
the drafts for responses to each TPE will take place in
coursework. It is often the case that student teaching
prompts teacher candidates to revise TPE responses. You
will find that there is nothing more relevant than
classroom experience to change your view of the TPE!
Beginning in
fall 2003,
CSUSM College of
Education implemented the use
of an electronic portfolio as a way to
demonstrate meeting the Teaching Performance
Expectations (TPEs), which
are expected of every teacher candidate seeking
a California teaching credential. The
TPEs
are more specific than the California
Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTPs).
(See the CSTP
with TPE document to examine
the relationship). To obtain a credential,
teacher candidates must demonstrate meeting all
TPEs. The electronic portfolio becomes a major
source for examining progress in meeting
the TPEs.
CSUSM added TPEs to the state
required list to affirm teacher candidates were
able to develop their practice in alignment with
our Mission Statement.
The California Teaching
Performance Assessment embeds assessment of the
TPEs. Currently, the CSU system has
suspended the implementation of the CA-TPA until
adequate funding is provided. Until that
time, CSUSM will use a hybrid portfolio that
includes both performance assessment and a
reflective portfolio.
