The Iowa ePortfolio™ Model

ePortfolio Workshops

Project Definition:
The ePortfolio™ project provides a technology-based system for collecting and organizing the standards-based performances of probationary teachers. The project provides a user-friendly means for teachers and their administrators/evaluators to gauge the progress of teachers achieving professional licensure requirements. The project also provides evaluators with the tools essential for portfolio review and licensure recommendation.

To offer a full and practical orientation to the ePortfolio™ evaluation system and to provide training and examples on how to implement the ePortfolio™ framework.
