How and When
• Introduced in ISTC 653 or ISTC 615
• Design skills presented in ISTC 541 (web
design, wiki’s, Google Sites, PowerPoint etc.)
– Candidates select the software for the design
• Reflective writing based on the standards will
occur in most courses.
• Full portfolio completed near the end of the
program in conjunction with the ISTC 789.
Components
• 20 reflections (1 per AASL standard) –
focus on course assessments/artifacts and
practical experiences
• 1 summative reflection
• 1 conceptual map and a reflection
Which Standards
• Remember that AASL has two sets of standards:
– Standards for your preparation – The AASL
Standards for the Preparation of School Library Media
Specialists – These are the standards used in the
portfolio
– Standards for your Students- Standards for the 21st
Century Learners – these will be embedded in
assignments you design for your students, but these
are not the standards you reflect on in the portfolio
process.
Signature/Key Assessment
• The school library media program has
eight signature assessments. The eight
assessments represent all the
competencies present in the 20 AASL
standards for the Preparation of School
Library Media Specialists.

Other Assessments
• The signature assessments are a starting point
for writing the reflections. All assessments and
artifacts from your coursework may be
incorporated into the reflections.
• Your prek-12 application on coursework should
also be used in the reflective writing process –
this is perhaps most important – to see how you
are applying the knowledge and skills acquired
in school library media classes with prek-12
students.
Remember This
• The most important thing to remember at
this point about the portfolio are to keep all
your work/projects, and to back up digital
copies of your coursework.
Remember This - Again
• The most important thing to remember at
this point about the portfolio are to keep all
your work/projects, and to back up digital
copies of your coursework.
Remember This –One More Time
• The most important thing to remember at
this point about the portfolio are to keep all
your work/projects, and to back up digital
copies of your coursework.
Brainstorm
• What are some potential assessments and
experiences from the ISTC 615 course
that could be used in the completion of
your portfolio?
Portfolio Essentials
• The portfolio is introduced in ISTC 615 and/or ISTC 653
(The Organization of Knowledge) and structurally
designed in ISTC 541 (Foundations of Instructional
Technology).
• As candidates near completion of the
program, they will write reflection
statements correlating their program work,
particularly as the work connects to PreK12 students.
• It is not likely possible to complete the
portfolio until a majority of coursework is
completed. The portfolio is to be
completed as part of (three credits) of the
final six credit program course, ISTC 789
(Practicum and Portfolio in School Library
Media).
• Candidates should archive all copies of
their work.
Quiz Questions
• Which standards are used in the portfolio
process?
• Which class should I expect to acquire the
design skills to complete the portfolio?
• Which assignments should l keep?
• Who can I contact if I have questions
about the portfolio?
• When I I reasonably expect to complete
the portfolio?
