Abstract

Through the process of preparing for our upcoming NCATE and State accreditation visitations next spring, our institution's teacher education program has encountered many challenges in the last three years. Most of the issues have revolved around the introduction of our new e-portfolio system. Through mostly trial and error, we've implemented effective strategies to overcome these obstacles. This presentation shares the knowledge, insight and lessons we learned through these processes. These lessons can be grouped into two categories: Selection of an Appropriate System and Implementation Issues. The Selection of an Appropriate System category examines a number of critical areas including e-portfolios versus assessment systems, the cost structure, technology considerations and faculty buy-in. The Implementation Issues category addresses the implementation plan, the implementation team and roles, the working timeline, the contingency plan, the support structure and administration.
