内容説明

Portfolios aren't just for documenting the work of young children-they can also be powerful resources for early childhood educators' professional training and development. From evaluating one's classroom practice to showcasing skills and accomplishments, professional portfolios are a comprehensive record of a career in its entirety. In this book, Marianne Jones and Marilyn Shelton guide both practicing and pre-serve instructors through the process of showcasing their own teaching skills. The authors present numerous examples taken from successful portfolios, provide helpful tips and strategies, combine theory and practice for developing portfolios, and walk readers step-by-step through the creation process. This essential guide will accessibly and effectively guide early childhood educators through the recording of their emerging abilities.
