Teacher Candidacy eFolio
for  Students Majoring in Elementary and Secondary Education, KPE Teaching/Coaching, and Early Childhood Education

In their second year of study students apply for Teacher Candidacy by submitting an electronic portfolio (eFolio), using NoteShare software, reflecting their work to date. This initial portfolio must include:

• a transcript of academic work showing a grade point average of at least 2.5 (C- or greater in the core education classes: EDB 202; EDB 221; CHF 201 - Elementary only; PSY 224 or CHF 433 - Secondary only; KPE 262 - Teaching/Coaching only)
• an analysis of self-initiated field experience with children or adolescents
• documentation of passing the Praxis I examination.

The portfolio becomes major documentation of a student’s professional development as an aspiring educator over the next two years. Portfolio guidance is available from the Advising Center.
