4.0 out of 5 stars The Teaching Portfolio by Peter Seldin, July 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Teaching Portfolio: A Practical Guide to Improved Performance and Promotion/Tenure Decisions (Paperback)

This is an excellent guide for those looking to create a teaching portfolio and for those interested in improving education. Seldin's writing style is very easy to read and comprehend, and he offers excellent advice for the components of a teaching portfolio, working with a mentor, preparing and using the portfolio, and improving teaching through use of the portfolio. Additionally, there are many sample portfolios from a variety of disciplines for the reader's review.
