To tour your newly created Educational Leadership Portfolio site follow the steps below.
Log in to Google Drive using ONLY your @go.olemiss.edu email address.
Open up your Educational Leadership Portfolio site.
Click the three vertical dots next to the PUBLISH button.
Select "Help", then "Take a tour" which will show you some of the features of the Google Sites platform.
In the right sidebar, select PAGES to view all the pages on your site.
Select each of the pages below to view the indicated page as you learn the purpose behind each section of the portfolio.
Home - This purpose of this page is to introduce yourself to readers. Some preloaded ideas for introducing yourself are selecting a picture that represents who you are as an educational leader and place an appropriate caption under the photo, writing a welcome statement, and linking to your resume (that is stored in your Educational Leadership Portfolio Artifacts Google Drive folder). There is also a footer for you to include any relevant contact information you would want to share.
Professional Vision - The purpose of this page is to document how you define and refine your beliefs about educational leadership. Make sure that when you revisit your professional vision throughout the program that you do not delete anything you previously posted. You may change your mind about something or your ideas may be more sophisticated later in your program, but you will want to leave the old professional vision statements posted in order to show how you have evolved and grown as an educator. In fact, this section is set up so that you can add to your professional vision and also state how this new version shows growth from a previous version of your professional vision.
Artifacts- The purpose of these pages are to display the artifacts of your development professional educator, or what I call "mile markers of development". An artifact can be a reading, an entry in your journal, a class assignment, a presentation, or any other tangible item that represents an experience you had that made an impact on you during your time in the program. You will connect each artifact to one or more standards that you feel you have been able to meet through the artifact. With each entry in this section, you will need to:
Identify the artifact of your professional growth.
Describe the context from which the artifact emerged (as if someone unfamiliar with your program of study was reading it).
Reflect on how the artifact is important to your growth as an educational leader.
Justify how the selected artifact shows growth in the identified standards.
Standards- The purpose of this page is to identify the standards needed for your program and to align your artifacts of progressional growth with the standards needed for your program. Eventually each standards page will be an index for identifying the artifacts that show your growth in a particular standard.
