Abstract | Credential portfolios as a selection tool in the hiring of new teachers is not a new idea. Their importance has been stressed in the professional literature. For the purpose of this study, we developed a portfolio checklist of items to be included in the beginning teacher's professional portfolio. After a pilot study was conducted, 400 surveys were sent to hiring officials in all of the districts in south Georgia. Data were analyzed using the Tukey HSD test. The major conclusion drawn was that there is a significant difference in the way various groups of administrators view items in the professional portfolio, especially middle school principals. New teachers should tailor their portfolios to a particular group of hiring officials. Additional research is needed to determine why these administrators view portfolio items differently. (Author) |
