Teachers as lifelong learners or the Craft, the Art and the Magic of professional development (Implementing a Pedagogical Portfolio - a Case Study)
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: The present article focuses on the lessons learned from using the NBU Pedagogical Portfolio (Dimitrova and Tashevska, 2004) for the purposes of quality assurance in the specific context of foreign language pre-service teacher education and in-service teacher development, not just at New Bulgarian University but in the wider professional community for over 15 years. In a way the article is also a continuation of the exemplary case study which appeared in the QualiTraining Guide (Muresan et al, 2007) providing further details and more specific evidence of the quality assurance function of the Portfolio. Snippets of good practice and reflection leading to professional growth are shared and readers themselves are encouraged to reflect on their own experience and development as teachers and/or trainers.
