Throughout the entire academic year students will be expected to develop a professional learning portfolio. The portfolio will be the culminating project and must be successfully completed.
This portfolio will provide concrete evidence of students' mastery of each of the core competencies. This will be accomplished through the presentation of key assignments, projects, and other materials--derived from each of the courses students will have taken--that are the students' best representations of their learning for those courses. Also included in the portfolio will be students' responses to a comprehensive examination of the material learned in courses throughout the program. At the end of the program students sit for the comprehensive exam and submit the professional learning portfolio.
The core faculty of the program will review students' complete portfolios, grade them and provide concrete feedback to each student. A successful review of the portfolio will constitute the final requirement for graduation from the program.
