Purpose: In accordance with ASHA Standards for Certificate of Clinical Competency, students are required to participate in the formative assessment of their acquisition of knowledge and skills throughout their program of study. One way to document this process is through completion of an electronic portfolio. The portfolio includes documentation of the student’s increasing proficiency towards acquiring the competencies required for certification and licensure as a speech-language pathologist. Additionally, the development of the portfolio provides the student with the opportunity to engage in ongoing assessment and self-reflection during the academic and clinical aspects of the graduate program. It is expected that the student will begin to work on the portfolio during the first year of study and continue to work on the portfolio throughout their program.

Directions and Portfolio Requirements: All portfolios are created within the Moodle learning management system. To begin your portfolio, log into Moodle and find the course titled "SLP GR Program Portfolio" on the dashboard.  To begin working on your portfolio,  click "Portfolio Access (Click here)". You are encouraged to work on your portfolio throughout your program as an ongoing self-assessment activity. Within the Moodle course, there are tutorials and guidesheets regarding how to navigate the portfolio system. The directions for the portfolio are dependent on the semester you started the grad program, as indicated below:

• For students starting Fall 2023 or earlier

• For students starting Fall 2024 or later

  • There is an optional checklist linked here and on Moodle to help you track your documents for students starting Fall 2024 or later

Here is an FAQ document that may help answer any additional questions you have regarding the portfolio, the oral comprehensive exam, and the Praxis exam.

It is the student's responsibility to initiate and work on the portfolio throughout the program!
