“To be a good teacher is hard work. You have to be totally engaged and positive and creative and happy all the time to be a good teacher and have a hell of a lot of responsibility and not a lot of respect, not a lot of pay in the end.” (Hayley, taught for 3.5 years)

Rationale for Portfolio Usage
Portfolios set new teachers apart from other candidates by presenting tangible evidence of their skills and abilities.
Portfolios allow candidates to exercise control over portions of the interview
Portfolios are an important marketing tool for promoting the beginning teacher's skills and abilities.
Portfolios can be used to augment answers during an interview

Quotes about Portfolio Usage
“I found the portfolio to be very helpful. I feel that it helped me provide vivid and tangible examples of my teaching methods, ideas, and skills.”
“Although the portfolio took hours of preparation, it is an excellent visual tool to use in an interview versus explaining verbally everything in detail.”
“It showed professionalism as well as my organization skills – not to mention my teaching strategies.”

Conducting a Parent-Teacher Conference
It is important to have a good working relationship between parents and teachers
Teachers need to understand that the parent is the first teacher. It is the teacher’s duty to respect the parents and their decisions
Remind parents that your door is always open to them, and that good communication is the key to their child’s success
