Directions

You are creating a collection of the materials that you used (and might currently be using) in classes taught during the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters. If you are a new hire for the Fall semester, please know that we understand that the current semester is often a work in progress, and that you may have only limited materials to provide for it.

Due Date: First Friday of November (As required by ACC)

How to Submit:

You will need to upload your materials to your Google Site. This site will be provided to you by the Asst. Department Chair. Within each of the course pages, you will find the following sub-pages:

• Course Syllabi

• Major Course Assignments/Grading Rubrics/Evaluation Forms

• Exam Materials

• Learning Activities & Lecture Materials

Your first year portfolio will consist of the documents you upload onto the appropriate pages. Please use Microsoft Word (.doc, docx) or Adobe Acrobat Reader (.pdf) files ONLY.

Course Syllabi

This section should include one (1) course syllabus uploaded for each course taught at ACC. Unless there have been significant changes between semesters, one copy for each course will suffice. Please note any major changes to the syllabus within the notes/comments section at the bottom of the page for your evaluator to review. Full time faculty should include one syllabus for each format in which a course is taught. If you teach a traditional classroom section, one hybrid section and one distance learning section, then you should include all three syllabi. Include the daily schedule if separate from the syllabus.

Major Course Assignments/ Grading Rubrics/Evaluation Forms

This section should include any and all handouts, written instructions, or other materials that are given to your students to complete each of the major assignments in your courses. Please include one example for each of the required major assignments as listed in the Master Syllabus for the course. You will also need to include the grading/scoring rubrics and evaluation forms that are returned to the student with their graded assignment. Students must be given written assignments for all Master Syllabus requirements.

We would appreciate a comprehensive inventory of every major assignment that is used in your classroom. Make sure to include the latest version of your assignments. If you provide old assignments then your rating may reflect inaccurate data and feedback. Reviewers can only give feedback and determine ratings based on what is uploaded to the Google site.

Exam Materials

This section represents how you assessed student learning through quizzes and/or exams in your courses.

• Provide at least two (2) examples of the exams that students took in each of your classes.

• If used in your courses, provide several examples of short quizzes that students took.

• Study Guides are optional; you may choose to include these if you distribute one to your students

Learning Activities & Lecture Materials

This section allows you to demonstrate how you engage students in the classroom and course content, and how course objectives are covered. In this folder, we want to see how you engage students through participative and interactive teaching strategies.

• Provide at least five examples of learning activities and or lecture materials that you used in each of your classes. The samples that you include should let us see the “typical” way you get students interacting in class or on-line.

  • These examples can include handouts that are used to start a class discussion, exercise, or activity.

  • If you use computer-based presentation software (PowerPoint, Slides) during class lectures, provide the PowerPoint presentation or outline for review.

  • If it is a distance learning class, include copies of your discussion boards or other interactive materials used on-line.

• Please add a statement to each of these documents about how you used the activity/discussion in class so that the Evaluator can fully understand the topic you were covering, and the objectives you were trying to meet.

We hope that this overview allows you to experience a smooth completion of this portfolio process. Please contact (INSERT CONTACT INFO) if you have any questions about any of the steps that are described.
