Abstract
Development Quest Portfolio (PDQP). This assignment is for TED690 for my Capstone
Student learning. I will be evaluating my strengths and weakness related to this domain.
As well as a discussion of TPE’s 2 and 3 associated with the domain. Finally a rationale
"The e-portfolio, just like the paper portfolio, is a carefully selected collection of
However, unlike the paper portfolio, the e-portfolio is a multimedia approach that allows
the teacher to present teaching, learning, and reflective entries in a variety of formats
(audio, video, graphics, and text) (Costantino, De Lorenzo & Tirrell-Corbin, 2009, p.31).
The most important factor in creating a portfolio is representing the ability to implement
the standards, assessing student knowledge and reflecting on their instruction for further
development.
Performance Expectations. When I learned about them I had a hard time putting the
Expectations together with what I was learning. How did these Expectations fit in?
Before my student teaching experience they were just theories that I had read
about. There is nothing like being in the classroom and living the expectations.

assessments.
assessments. Once I have my assessed my class I need to work on how I will use the
data. How the information will benefit my instruction in the class and allow me to
Portfolio I have been forced to think about potential artifacts to display and as such have
been required to reflect on my competencies within the TPE’s. One competency that I
will seek to improve is my ability to use data from assessments to best direct future
lesson plans. I am a very strong believer in first best practices but having said that, if the
end result is not where it is expected then a day of re-teaching might be necessary.

my students understand a lesson and are ready to move on or if they need further
know how to use the data. I have used assessment data previously in order to organize
my students in learning groups. Going forward I will work on using the data I collect to
