The following portfolio is my culminating project for my middle level teacher education program.  Creating it provided an opportunity--as I transitioned from student to teacher--for me to articulate my philosophy of teaching.

Thorughout my student teaching I focused on the use of small group activities and tiering--coupled with formative assessment--as an effective approach to differentiating meaningful instruction.  I have attempted to articulate this examination by documenting and analyzing my practice throughout the fall and spring.

The details, analysis, and artifacts of my philosophy, practice, and thoughts are featured on the following pages.
