To hide the standards you do not need in your portfolio, execute the following steps.
Open your Chrome browser.
Log in to Google Drive using ONLY your @go.olemiss.edu email address.
Open up your Education Portfolio site.
Identify what kind of teacher you are preparing to become (Elementary, Special Education, Secondary Social Studies, Secondary English, Secondary Science, or Secondary Mathematics, Health & Physical Education, or Early Childhood). NOTE: You may be planning to be certified in multiple areas but for the portfolio only use the program in which you are doing coursework/placements.
In the sidebar on the right side of your screen select "PAGES".
Click on the triangle next to "Standards", so all of the Standards pages can be viewed.
Select a Standards page that is NOT needed for your program (see the list above).
Click the three vertical dots that appear next to the page name.
Click "Hide from navigation". (DO NOT DELETE - just in case!)
Repeat for all other sets of Standards that are NOT needed for your program.
In the sidebar on the right side of your screen select the "Standards" page.
On the "Standards" page remove links to the Standards that are NOT needed for your program by hovering over the unneeded section and clicking the trashcan symbol.
Repeat for all other sets of Standards that are NOT needed for your program.
You have just adapted your Teacher Education Portfolio site for your program!
