Professional Growth is an expectation of the Profession, so … Next year you may not know something, realize that your students have a specific need, or be assigned to implement something new (i.e., a new way of teaching, evaluating, a new curriculum, a new report card).

Portfolios are useful when interviewing for a job. The evidence allows the teacher to show his or her knowledge, skills, and abilities. Teachers who create portfolios for this purpose are viewed as organized and productive. Those who interview potential teachers view the portfolio as a way to see who best meets the qualifications for the job and who will be successful in a particular school or district. Finally, the portfolio gives credence to a teacher’s beliefs and actions. This credence can get a teacher the job he or she desires. Bullock & Hawk (2005).
