Type C Portfolio

To: Applicants for National Board Certification
From: Outstanding Teacher Committee
Re: Type C Portfolio
Date: July 22, 1996

The Outstanding Teacher Committee has agreed that any teacher who was building a portfolio as part of the Outstanding Teacher process for National Board Certification could use that same portfolio, with the following modifications, to apply for the Douglas County School District Outstanding Teacher program.

To apply for the outstanding teacher designation all normal timetables and requirements must be met.

The following additions should be made to the National Standards portfolio:

  1. Resume with background information and the professional context in which you work.
  2. An index or explanation telling the administrator where to look for the 6 artifacts which you wish to use to demonstrate the 3 criteria for the outstanding teacher designation. At least one artifact is required for each criterion. The other artifacts can relate to any of the 3 criteria.
  3. A summary and reflection on the client survey.
  4. A summary and reflection on the peer survey.
  5. A copy and brief reflection on your teacher evaluation or professional growth.

We applaud the work of teachers applying for the National Board Certification and in light of the extensive documentation required for that process wanted to combine, as much as possible, those efforts with the goals of the Douglas County Outstanding Teacher Program.

If you have any further questions, please contact Nancy Shawkowski at Cherokee Trail Elementary or any member of the Outstanding Teacher Committee.
