    I'm randomly watching through all of your videos and you are the Leslie Knope of teaching.

    Michelle, your videos are so inspiring; you are so easy to relate to. I'm currently student teaching, and will graduate in May with a Masters and my teaching certification. As I begin preparing for interviews and teacher recruitment fairs, watching your videos have been very beneficial. I have created a website that shows many of my strengths and highlights many lessons but I plan on also creating a binder portfolio so that I have evidence in my hand of everything. Thank you for taking the time to create your videos! I highly appreciate them and I look forward to watching every weekend!

    I had my first interview today and this portfolio saved my butt! I was able to have all of my ideas organized into one place and my interviewers really liked how organized I was! They also asked to see my portfolio and i was able to walk them through it seamlessly! Just waiting to see if I get a call back now!!

    Great information - I am not a primary school educator but I am preparing a portfolio to take with me on interviews for a college lecturer. I was able to use several of your ideas in my portfolio, and your creativity sparked a lot of additional ideas that I could use to make my portfolio standout in an interview. Thank you.

    Hi Michelle,
    I love your videos. I am an elementary ed teaching candidate from Connecticut and your channel has really given me a perspective on what a teacher's day to day life is. One video I would like to see is what advice you would give to a student who is in the process of becoming a teacher. Thanks! :)

    I purchased your portfolio template(s) when I learned that I needed a teaching portfolio for an OOS (out of state interview). I had an interview at a top school and wanted something to help show what I've done throughout my time teaching. Your templates were the perfect guide. I stumbled across your teaching channel and saw you demonstrate how you used your pages to create the whole package. I added photos of my classroom, bold texts to share teaching styles, routines, organization and more. Each page you created helped me have a clear vision for essentials needed in the portfolio. I got the job, and I would like to say thank you. I know that having a clean and well prepared portfolio helped me stand out! You did a phenomenal job creating this product and I will recommend it to others! This does not do the work for you, but it does help you organize your information to complete an awesome portfolio. Happy Teaching!

    I don't know how many times I have watched this, but I am working on slowly revamping my portfolio for the future if I ever decide to leave my current job. And since it's a new school year, I have all year to keep it in mind and get pictures and items to put into my portfolio without having to look through all my old files (that I'm not honestly that happy with anyway)! Thank you so much for putting this video up and going through everything with us, it has truly helped!
    Also, I know you may not even be checking these comments anymore since this video is so old, but I'm anxiously awaiting your next mail haul video! I sent you something a while ago, and I want to make sure you got it! :)
    Lots of love from Ohio!

    I just thought I should let you know that this along with a few of your other videos have been part of the materials that I have had to watch for my teaching courses at my local college! And I actually discovered your videos a while ago, so when I saw your video for the assignment, I was like "Hey its pocketful of primary!"

  • @kristinjaklitsch3980
    @kristinjaklitsch3980 7 років тому

    Thank you so much for putting together this video! I have my degree & certifications for foreign languages 5-12 but the secondary education students were not required to do this portfolio for graduation. Only elementary education majors! I have a portfolio that I threw together years ago before an interview but it has not really been updated. I have an interview in a few weeks and I watched this video (along with your interview tips and resume tips) and I plan on revising the portfolio and resume again this week.
    Thank you so much for the time you put in! Even if you are an elementary school teacher, please know that your information is valuable to educators of ALL ages! :)

    I swear I should just make a playlist of all your videos to revisit when I'm preparing to apply for jobs in December lol. As a soon-to-be first year teacher, I would love to see a video all about your classroom procedure checklist for the beginning of the year! I feel like there's so much a new teacher can forget about among all the hustle and bustle.

  • @stephanieleigh101
    @stephanieleigh101 7 років тому

    Very impressive! Saving this should I ever need it! I've never created a portfolio. I have no idea how I managed to get a job ten years ago - I didn't know the answers to any of the questions! So when I went through an intense interview for our Teacher of the Year process, I took random pages and notes that were SO helpful. I didn't know where to begin to put them together officially. Your binder is the perfect visual example! Thank you for your willingness to share!

  • @oliviajoy23
    @oliviajoy23 7 років тому +50

    I would love to see what your first portfolio looked like. I will be getting ready to interview for the first time, as a new teacher, and I don't have a whole lot to put in my portfolio. I really wish I had known to work on one before starting my internship!

    • @andreasummers1955
      @andreasummers1955 7 років тому +12

      Hi Olivia, you can add so much to your portfolio! You can write at least three lesson plans (a literacy, math, and science one), design your classroom using a website and add pictures of it, add information on how you would communicate with parents etc. just add things that you would use in your classroom when you have one. Good luck!

    • @jaylacruz6357

    I love love love all your videos. I have purchased your portfolio pack, resume pack and the interview packs. I am so in love with them all and working on them as we speak. I would love to see a mock interview on how you would actually use the portfolio in the interview. Personally I always bring a note pad with my notes to an interview but I always feel o strange to look at my notes when asked a question. Just curious on what it would actually look like in actuality. Thanks so much for all that you do - all your videos, TPT packs and all. Very helpful and tons of great ideas!

  • @morgantaylor7736
    @morgantaylor7736 7 років тому

    In Australia, we had to do a similar online portfolio as part of our final university assignments. Which of course nobody asks to read!
    I will definitely be buying this to help me keep up to date with all my important teaching documents etc.

I will definitely purchase your product, as well as others, featured in this video to help me stand out when I go in for an interview.

  • @mackenzihill8762
    @mackenzihill8762 4 роки тому

    Thank you so much! I prepared for an interview by practicing responses to questions from your other video, but I did not have time to update my portfolio to this degree from my college lesson plans from two years ago until afterwards. When I finished my portfolio and sent it to the school's administration, thanking them again for their time, I basically said "thanks but no thanks" on their only open position teaching 5th (since I prefer 2nd). They replied with how impressed they were and are discussing rearranging teachers to offer me a 3rd grade position! Thank you so much for all the amazing and effective content you create. :)

    • @jaydel3
      @jaydel3 4 роки тому

      Why do you hate 5th grade, just curious.

    • @mackenzihill8762
      @mackenzihill8762 4 роки тому

      ​@@jaydel3 I do not hate 5th graders at all! Nor did I mean to imply that. As I said above, I prefer younger kids. That is the age group for which I...
      ...prepared most for in college,
      ...interned in college,
      ...purchased an extensive classroom library for out of my own pocket,
      ...purchased materials and resources for 2nd grade standards out of my pocket,
      ...wrote all of my lesson plans to date based on 2nd grade standards,
      ...have several years of experience, and
      ...am generally best prepared for and capable of teaching.
      Does that make sense? If ever I have to teach 5th, I am sure it would be equally rewarding, but I would have to start all over with all new standards, all new lesson plans, purchase a ton of new books (because 5th graders are mostly reading chapter books and some 2nd graders are still learning how to sound out many words), and I can't afford to make those investments on the last of my salary from last year. I am also headed into a private school setting where I will make even less (but the environment is better and so worth it). I know there are grants available through Donors Choose and such, but I'm hoping to land a job in a grade level for which I am ready (or closer to ready).

    This is super neat. The panel at my school was so impressed with my knowledge and resume that I actually got hired as a teacher instead of an assistant. But if I had this too I think they would have exploded and hired me that day 😂
    I think the philosophy of education is important. My school actually had me fill out a long survey checking for bias and see if my views align with the schools.
