The Iowa ePortfolio™ Model The University of Iowa College of Education The University of Iowa

The Iowa ePortfolio™ Model is a web-based system designed to meet mandated standards and performance assessment requirements. It combines the integration of technologies, academic coursework, field experience, and a skills-based hiring tool for professional advancement.

As College of Education students move through their program, they add performances and artifacts to their ePortfolio™ in each course, and by the end of their program, they have electronically collected multiple instances of their work, all tied directly to state and national standards. Faculty use the framework to help students document performance through advanced web and multimedia technologies. The project has fostered and enhanced dialogue among faculty members, administrators, and students.

The Iowa ePortfolio™ Model

The ePortfolio will bring meaning and purpose to evaluations by making teachers responsible for their own growth. It gives a common language to administrators and the staff being evaluated.

The ePortfolio makes me reflect back on what I did and think of what worked and what needs to be changed. That helped me grow as a teacher.
