Portfolio Tips
As you prepare for an interview with a school system, there are several items which you should plan to bring and present to the interviewer. Included among these items is a professionally-prepared teaching portfolio which contains materials that are not usually a part of a resume or your credential file.
Credential Files
A credential file contains letters of recommendations and recommendation forms from cooperating teachers, supervising professors and others who know your abilities and is sent to school districts as part of the application process.
