Portfolio Artifact Cover Sheet Tips

Use the current artifact cover sheet form located under RESOURCES on the NSU COE Portfolio webpage http://academics.nsuok.edu/education/eportfolio.aspxIf you need help contact the Portfolio office in Tahlequah, Bagley 201, 918-444-3720, or Broken Arrow ED 242, 918-449-6569.

General guidelines

· The cover sheet is a template, do not remove words or make alterations!

· Use first person (I, my, me, mine, etc) & Use complete sentences

· Single space & do a spell & grammar check (re-read it – don’t only rely on the computer)

· Each competency must have the appropriate artifact cover sheet

· Competencies 1-15 each must be a different artifact. Artifacts can only be used once.

· To pass a competency must have 6 scores of 2’s or 3’s (a single score of 1 means it must be revised and both the artifact cover sheet and competency resubmitted)

The first Artifact Cover Sheet question

Description: “What is your artifact?”

· Briefly describe your assignment/project/document.

· Name the other individual(s) if you created any portion of the artifact in as a group/partner project.

· The artifact should be original work you created. If it was a part of a group/partner project then describe what part of the project was the result of your input.

· Keep the answer brief and to the point (note: this question is not a part of the competency rubric). The answer does not need to discuss elements of the competency.

The second Artifact Cover Sheet question

Analysis: “How does this artifact demonstrate you understand the competency?”

The answer to this question explains how the artifact is a representation that you have accomplished the elements (characteristics) in the competency.

· Address ALL of the elements in the competency

· Often the difference between a score of 1 (unacceptable), and 2 or 3, is whether or not it emphasizes HOW the artifact demonstrates ALL of the elements in the competency.

· “HOW the artifact demonstrates ALL of the elements” = which parts of your artifact represent EACH of the competency elements

The third Artifact Cover Sheet question

Reflection: “How will your understanding of this competency impact your future students’ learning?”

· Since the above answer explained how your artifact demonstrated you accomplished the elements in the competency, the answer to this question will explain how your attainment of those elements will impact the learning of your future students.

· Often the difference between a score of 1 (unacceptable), and 2 or 3, is whether or not the answer explains HOW your understanding of the ALL the elements in the competency will affect your (future) student’s learning. HINT: Make sure you write about the impact upon your students.
