Throughout your program in the College of Education, University of Saskatchewan, you will be working towards achieving professional competencies as indicated in the program goals. You will use the Professional Growth Guide & Portfolio during your studies to help you link your on-campus courses and field study experiences to enhance your professional development. You are responsible, as a teacher candidate, for using the Professional Growth Portfolio as a tool for gathering evidence of your progress toward achieving program goals and outcomes.
