That’s right, take a little time show-off the great things happening in your classroom. Now is the perfect time of year to start a file of student work, great lesson plans and a few photos for your brag book. It’s something you can share with administrators and will certainly come in handy should you decide you may want to transfer schools next spring. Student work samples really give you good talking points and physical proof of your skills. Consider saving back a few tests over the course of the year to show student improvement as well. There are a million ways to organize your brag book/portfolio. I purchased a fancy report cover with tabs and a clip and sorted items into the following categories:
- Teaching Philosophy
- Classroom Procedures
- Sample Unit Lesson Plan
- Sample Unit Assessment
- Student Work Samples
- Student Assessment Samples
