New material on the portfolio planning stage and additional coverage on the importance of developing a personal philosophy.      A companion website with additional instructor materials such as printable templates, exercises for improving portfolio skills, and more.  Both theoretical and practical, the book addresses issues and mechanics related to process and product, instruction and guidance techniques, the role of reflection, and assessment strategies. With concrete examples, rubrics, tips, and exercises, this book will provide a step-by-step guide to creating a professional teaching portfolio.
