ELL Capstone Portfolio

Abstract

This portfolio consists of my philosophy of teaching both generally and in the ESL classroom, as well as artifacts demonstrating my professional knowledge of the TESOL standards. The picture that this portfolio paints is that of a teacher who values students' unique identities in curriculum planning and differentiation, student collaboration and critical thinking toward social action, the building of an open and supportive learning environment, and ongoing growth as a professional educator. Overall, this portfolio demonstrates who I am, why I am a highly qualified teacher, and what my vision is for the future.
