Your program (either the M.Ed. in Educational Leadership or the Tier I Certificate Add-On only) is comprised of two major parts: the classes you must take (earning a grade of A or B) and the clinical leadership practice (the clinical hours you must log). By the end of your program, you will capture your engagement in the coursework and in the clinical practices in a digital portfolio. The portfolio is a program requirement, and it serves as your program's culminating project. Below is...
A video explaining all about the development of your portfolio
Instructions for completing and submitting your portfolio

Dr. Rumbaugh and his graduate assistant, Ashley Moore, are available to provide guidance and support on your portfolio before your final submission. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us at wrumbaugh@gsu.edu and amoore84@gsu.edu.
For your final portfolio submission, email the link to your published portfolio to Dr. Rumbaugh and Ashley for final review. Follow the instructions HERE to ensure the portfolio is public, allowing anyone with the link (e.g., reviewers and potential employers) to access it. After your portfolio has been reviewed, you will receive an email with feedback and next steps. If your next steps include revisions, please submit them no later than one week from receipt of this email. If you need an extension, please notify Dr. Rumbaugh and/or Ashley. Once your portfolio has been approved, you will receive the next steps for applying for your Tier I Certificate through the GaPSC.
