A Component 4 Tip from Amy

You will find "Learning Portfolio Related Terms" around page 11 of this document. I found it helpful that specific words such as "formative assessment" "student self assessment" and "summative assessment" "whole-class discussions" are defined here.  Reading these definitions may help to spring board your thinking in the correct direction to provide evidence. Have a great day!

To Submit Your Components to the National Board when the Window Opens...







You may have already received information about how to submit your components to the National Board when the submission window opens on April first, as well as information about how to register for your account on the submission website.  If not, that email will be coming soon from the NBPTS.  If you don't get that information, contact Instructional Specialist, Amy Hinkle or any of your advanced cohort members, who will help you.  (I will be out for a few of weeks due to my mom's illness, which she's doing better, thank you for the inquiries!)  We will also be scheduling a cohort meeting at each location in April.

Although the submission window is opening, you still have almost six weeks to upload and submit your materials.  Don't worry.  You can upload files and then take them back off the site and upload different files until midnight of May 16th.  Nothing is sent in until you hit the SUBMIT button.  But whatever is there will automatically be submitted at midnight on May 16th.

Hope to see you at the dinner on April 19th.  Email Connie Bowers if interested.
