Recommendation
I think highly of this booklet because it situates teaching portfolios within the context of other professional development documents one may produce, including teaching statements and diversity statements. It also offers detailed ideas about how to read and evaluate teaching portfolios.
Dossiers—as dynamic, evolving documents of philosophy, practice, evidence, and reflection—can serve a number of aims and, therefore, need to be read in light of their intended purpose. Dossiers may be assessed formatively (for improvement) by yourself or a peer or summatively (for decision-making) by a hiring, tenure and/or promotion, or award committee that has established criteria and priorities (Kearns et al., 2010; O’Neal et al., 2007).”
