Use your field observations, interactions with your supervising teacher, and information from your textbooks to create your portfolio information. Remember that the information you include in the Portfolio should be personal...strategies that you YOURSELF would use if you were teaching.

Your Portfolio is something you will compile and continue to add to as you pursue your courses in education. Your portfolio serves as a "working product" that you can take to interviews when you complete your education.
