By Eileen M. Herteis (TLC Program Director, 2000-2004) 

The teaching portfolio is both a process and a product. It is at once the receptacle for evidence of achievement in teaching and the means for teachers to discern ways to achieve more. 

Before you embark on your portfolio, visit the companion site about the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Then you will realize why, when you refer to your scholarly achievements, you should include teaching. Teaching, research, and community, professional and public service are all part of your scholarship. You are not a teacher-scholar; you are a scholar. Use the teaching portfolio and this web site to help you document that scholarship. 

This web site allows University of Saskatchewan teachers to develop their portfolios at their own pace, to see examples of others' portfolios, and to link to the new standards of promotion and tenure at the university.
