Social Studies Education - Candidate Work Samples

The Eportfolio assignment is the capstone experience of the secondary social studies teacher education program. Eportfolios are aligned with NCSS and G-STEP standards.  The eportfolio assignment is introduced early in the program as a work-in-progress, a document that develops as candidates work through course and field experiences.  LiveText provides a space that serves as a virtual repository of candidate accomplishments spanning the length of the program.  At the end of the program, candidates share and defend their eportfolios in a presentation attended by their peers, program faculty, and social studies teachers.  Here, eportfolios serve as statements of what beginning social studies believe about teaching social studies, and what they can do in the classroom, at the conclusion of the program. Examples of student work can be found in eportfolios available at http://www.coe.uga.edu/esse/sse/s3ite/portfolios/index.html.
