What artifacts need to be put in my portfolio?

Which artifacts do I attach to which competencies?
It is up to the students to determine the best competency for the artifacts. You will provide a detailed rationale as to why you feel your artifact fits with the chosen competency.
If I still have questions after talking with my professor, who do I need to contact?
For questions regarding TK20, please contact Richard Simonds, MSW at 713.221.5711 or simondsr@uhd.edu. For questions regarding portfolio content, please contact Dr. Matt Fugate at 713.221.8165 or fugatec@uhd.edu.
What are the characteristics of an exemplar portfolio:
- In the Description box, include the name of the artifact and the course it comes from.
- Your interpretation and reflection needs to express your understanding of the competency in your own words as well as why it is important for teachers to know and practice. Do not simply summarize the competency.
- Your artifact rationale needs to explain the connection between the competency and the artifact selected.
It is not enough to simply say "this artifact fits competency 1", you need to provide an explain why it fits.
