The Master's Comprehensive Portfolio
Definition : The Master's Comprehensive Portfolio is a formal, organized set of
documents and artifacts demonstrating the teacher's growth, as a self-directed, reflective
practitioner.
Rationale : The Master's Comprehensive Portfolio is intended to provide tangible
evidence that the candidate has met each of the advanced competencies required for the
degree. The portfolio is not a collection of everything the candidate has done in the
master's program; it is a carefully selected, organized set of entries demonstrating
achievement of each of the standards.
Guidelines, Procedures and Directions for the Comprehensive Portfolio Demonstrating
Achievement of Advanced Competencies: A Requirement for the MAED and the MAT
