creditsAverage Course Rating
Guidance in professional portfolio development. The result will be a professional portfolio which is an organized collection of materials which demonstrate the intern’s educational philosophy, knowledge of teaching materials, experience in teaching, documents for the job search/application process, and professional references. Audio and video recordings of teaching and performances will be retained for both reflection and demonstration of current teaching skill and musicianship. In addition, students will discuss employment opportunities, practice answering questions frequently used in the interview process and discuss how to effectively use their portfolio to gain a position as a studio instructor. Open to Pedagogy majors only.

Students praised this course for covering ‘extremely relevant material’ in a systematic and well organized way. Perceived issues with the course varied greatly; multiple students thought that the course had such a tight schedule that it felt as though the instructor rushed through certain topics or that they were awkwardly taught. Suggestions for improvement included a desire by multiple students that the instructor provide them with additional ways to review material; one student requested the 122course have dedicated review sessions while another asked that exams from previous years be provided to current students so they could study from them. Prospective students should know that students found the course had a significant workload and it was necessary to have a strong background in probability and math in order to do well in the course.
