Professional Portfolio Overview

Professional Portfolio Overview

The Professional Portfolio in Teacher Vitae (aka "My Portfolio") helps educators capture personal success and reflection on practice, enabling meaningful conversations around the teaching process.  Portfolio features include:


  • Allows the user to organize evidence and artifacts privately, and share at user discretion
  • Supports rich text narratives, and attachments of all major types (videos, images, docs, pdfs, etc.)
  • Enables tagging of artifacts to district-defined categories (such as evaluation domains and components)
  • Detaches and moves with the educator, preserving a longitudinal record of artifacts and evaluations
