Abstract	The master of arts in teaching (MAT) program is a 39-credit graduate program leading to initial teacher certification at the elementary or secondary level in specific content areas. The goal of the program is to provide candidates with the foundational pedagogy and knowledge base necessary to become successful teachers. The digital portfolio conference allows the candidates for graduation to demonstrate their practice and to reflect on their instructional practice. It also allows the MAT students who attend the conference to select professional development that best fits their needs based on content, grade level, and interest. This article explores how the candidates for the MAT value the portfolio conference as a means to reflect on their performance in the classroom and on suggestions for further growth. (Contains 2 tables.) (As Provided).
