Developmental Portfolio The developmental portfolio is a collation of all the Student Teacher’s teaching and learning experiences during Semester 3. The Cooperating Teacher and the College/University Supervisor can see the Student Teacher’s academic progress as a developmental process, culminating in a product that provides a holistic picture of the Student Teacher’s ability by the end of the semester. The components of the developmental portfolio should provide evidence of how the Student Teacher meets the National Professional Standards for Teachers in Pakistan as well as the standards set by the college/university and the school. Portfolio materials should allow a multifaceted assessment of the Student Teacher.  The developmental portfolio should include all assignments, reflections, and feedback from the semester. Because the developmental portfolio should be highly personalized and represent the Student Teacher as an individual, he or she may add further artefacts if he/she believes these can also showcase his/her ability as an emerging teacher.    The developmental portfolio should consist of the following four sections: •School-based assignments: Non-observation assignments◦ Observations of Cooperating Teachers◦ Observations of peer Student Teachers◦ •Planning:Lesson plans created ◦ Feedback on the lesson plans by various mentors ◦ Worksheets and assessment tools to be used by children with these lesson plans ◦ •Teaching:Lesson plans actually taught ◦ Student worksheets used in teaching ◦ Samples of work completed by the children and feedback given to them ◦ Photos, videotaping, or recording of teaching (if available) ◦ Personal reflections on teaching ◦ •Feedback:Informal and formal observation by Cooperating Teachers and College/University ◦ Supervisors Pre-observation guides and post-observation reflection

Every practicum experience is guided by three participants: (1) the Student Teacher, (2) the Cooperating Teacher, and (3) the College/University Supervisor. What happens in the classroom and how it is interpreted will depend on the views of each member of the triad. It is important to negotiate common expectations for roles and responsibilities. If expectations are clear and understood by each member, the experience is more likely to be satisfactory for all. Student Teachers should take ownership of their own learning and at the same time receive consistent feedback and daily mentoring from their Cooperating Teachers at the school. While the Cooperating Teachers’ role is primarily mentoring, they are also required to provide the Student Teachers with formative and summative feedback. In order for Student Teachers to connect the theory they have learned in their teacher education programs to their current teaching practice, they will need active participation by the College/University S...
