How to Create a Teaching Portfolio (Physical AND Digital Versions)

[@renisha_th]

I’m not a teacher but I found this video very helpful. I’m a medical biller but I found your video helpful because I can create a portfolio for my medical billing career..

[@paulettesimmons8271]

I just sent this to my son who is a medical assistant.

[@tierrab0929]

About to do the same for my research career. Super excited.

[@jasminrodriguezslife5433]

Hi I am glad it helped you

[@katdee_]

Your portfolio template on TPT and interview YT videos have blessed me during interview prep 💕

[@lewism1847]

We’re in luck with you uploading twice! Lucky us

[@claudiavega1468]

perfect timing! I’m student teaching this fall and have to start creating my portfolio!

[@ChristianpatriotUSA]

What a great video! Thanks for the update! 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻

[@eye2984]

Thank you so much for this! I've been working out updating my portfolio. You are always a life-saver!

[@joebagiackas7198]

I used Michelle’s template portfolio for interviews two years ago when I was applying for positions and I would highly recommend! One of my best purchases on tpt to date

[@amymurphy8323]

Using a Mac - hold OPTION and then type the "e" in "Ferre" and you'll see a temporary ´ (that's an accent mark), then type the letter you want to be accented - an "e" in your case. :> It's a lot faster than inserting from the special characters. So again - OPTION + e = accent mark. :) Go, Ferré - You're killin' it.

[@katarzynaka1072]

Very helpfull. Greetings from teacher from Poland :)

[@kristinjaklitsch4803]

I used your portfolio template a few years ago when I was job hunting and my current district loved it!

[@robinmixon4826]

This is great! Alot of schools require clearances so is it possible to add a clearances area for child abuse, FBI clearance, State Clearances, etc.

[@alexandrademartini7496]

When I was in Washington, I had to create a portfolio to graduate, but in California, they aren’t as common. I decided to make one anyway, and I can tell you really put a lot of thought into it.

[@marciacarbo9047]

I have been a stay at home mom and I used your portfolio template and I got hired!

[@mahirasaiyoni145]

Please love this comment! I love your videos!

[@ThatGirlWithTheCoffee]

Notification squad!

[@hildaguzman6925]

I just want to take the time to come back to this video and comment that this portfolio helped me get hired on my very first interview as a first year teacher at a school district that rarely hires new teachers without any prior teaching experience! Seriously people I had my interview today and I bought Michelle’s portfolio from PTP yesterday (literally a night before) and practiced the interview questions from her interview questions video and holy cow. Buy her template and practice those interview questions. I was asked every single question she asked on there and I’m so glad I took the time to prepare some answers and to flip through my portfolio to show some of those key points. Be smart and work on both the template and sample interview questions ahead of time! I couldn’t because I didn’t have time and was lucky and fortunate enough to get the position. Thank you so much, Michelle!!!!!

[@xtineg780]

Haha most convincing TPT advertisement ever

[@crazykate77]

What are the "page setup" dimensions used on the Google Slides to have it be like this?

[@maes1769]

It's 8.5 x 11 inches for portrait :)

[@crazykate77]

@@maes1769 Thank you!! That’s what I assumed because it’s the same size as a regular piece of paper but just wanted to double check! Thanks again! :)

[@Momba_Jules]

This is a great resource! I’m not currently looking to change schools, but in the future when I plan to, I’ll come back to this. Also, as a HS teacher not all of these categories are applicable, but I can definitely see how I can utilize most and modify for what I may need. Nice job, Michelle!

[@kellykuzara3684]

I'm not a teacher, I just love organization, but I DID get an idea from you! I have all my bookmarks on Chrome like yours (just the webpage icon) and I found myself getting frustrated trying to access my work google drive while using my personal computer. I saw you have 2 google drive bookmarks, and it inspired me to add a second one that goes directly to my work one! It's so trivial but I know it'll be a help :)

[@jmintz87]

what if you are a first year teacher? how do you create a portfolio with very little teaching experience? I have been a teacher assistant most of the time.

[@iancarr.37]

Yay!! A new video!! Gives me an excuse to binge watch them all!!

[@bluecore66]

Me pone nerviosa que haga tantas cosas ...soy solo yo? :c

[@Soulsister1363]

Greetings, Michelle!! I’m a new subscriber on both your IG and KZbin!! God truly led me to you! I’m going on my first teacher interview and I needed a quick portfolio. 😳🤯😱 I searched on KZbin and your channel came up!!! I purchased your portfolio template and I am excited to report that I am well equipped with a wonderful teaching portfolio to present!

[@georgianaalecu8704]

Love you!❤

[@ivah977]

Just bought this template on TPT! it is amazing and this video is so helpful. The template is totally customizable you can change the text on all of the pages if you need! My portfolio looks so nice now

[@elizabethmiller2295]

PLEASE HELP!!! No matter how I try to add photos to the boxes just like Michelle did in the video, it says image format is invalid or unsupported. What should I do to fix this.

[@storytimewithms.marshall2544]

I love all of your videos they are extremely helpful. I am loving this portfolio walkthrough thank you so very much.

[@spazathor5594]

just wanted to say thank you for showing how to make the portfolio digitally. I have been racking my brain on how to do it with my interviews. Michelle your hard work is much appreciated.

[@emis6927]

[@russellpalatiere8852]

Love the video!! Already sharing it with my teacher friends including a new first year teacher and a college senior who is wanting to be a teacher!! It’s good information that you give!

[@KatrinaCarterViolet]

For Android phones, you can scan direct to Google drive too!

[@LovePinkLeapord]

This would have been very helpful in May/June. Thank you anyway!

[@hollycampbell3412]

What is your best advice for someone going into their teaching certificate program?

[@ramonasylvester647]

Great mam, Would you mind sending me some tips and a few templates in which I can put my detains in? ,😊

[@meganulicny5722]

This is exactly what I needed! I just used your old video and template on TPT to make my physical portfolio and was trying to figure out how to make an online one as well! Thank you so much!

[@yeymiortizibarra7719]

Hello, I do love all 💕 the tips you share

[@nohea_robertson]

Love this! It’s so helpful thank you!

[@HejamTVMjtongo]

Hi! Greetings!😊 Thank you so much for sharing.. very informative, interesting and helpful.😊😊😊

[@trudi-annebarrett2963]

How do I get this on google slides instead of PowerPoint presentation please

[@davidburgess1042]

Early

[@albagarcia4883]

Where can I buy the portfolio template please

[@frenchwithmadameg1116]

As a 22 year veteran teacher I am not looking for a job, but still thoroughly enjoyed this video. I teach French and use accents all of the time. Did you know that there is a much easier way to insert accents than using special characters? As long as the font you are using supports accents, all you have to do is use the option key on your MacBook . For example, to put the accent on Ferré, all you have to do is hit option+e, then the accent will pop up. Then hit the letter e again and the letter will show up with the accent on it. Each key on the keyboard is designated for a different special character. Hope that helps! I can't wait for the next one!

[@alyssaengelman5267]

You can get a printable PDF of your teaching certificate on the MSDE portal website! I had to do that for my online certificate. Hope this helps :) eisportal.msde.maryland.gov/

[@reneluyt9193]

Michelle 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻can you do something about going back ... like which masks you will be wearing , which masks do you think are best , will you have a sterilization station at the entrance of your class , how will you organize the students stationery ...all the new normal things we have to think about - would ❤️to hear how you will navigate opening of your class . Thanks for the best teacher channel - ever ❣️

[@loicebarasa2070]

Thanks for your educative video

[@andreatucker3497]

Can I ask what program you are using to create your videos? I like how you can screen share (including your phone screen). I'm mostly familiar with Prezi, but am curious what you are using. Thanks!

[@lexieleith]

Please do a video about your resume template!

[@onicariri5576]

Hi.Thanks for this amazing video. I'm an online tutor and i discovered this amazing you tube channel today. It's really helpful. I would like to know, however, where we can access the template of your profile? Thanks in advance.

[@amandalorenz9243]

Did you have the Google Slides option the entire time, or is it a new update to the product? So funny, I created an entire virtual portfolio using your template, but didn’t know there was a good slides option. I just copied and pasted a lot from PowerPoint onto Google slides. Either way, I got hired by the district I applied to, so thank you!

[@yesenialv835]

Hi from Mexico! I´m an English Teacher and I find your content very helpful so I share your videos! ...can we have one with ideas to start the year virtually? please!! *.*

[@naduellab]

I don't usually do public comments but I am so happy I stumbled onto your channel. I'm fairly new to teaching and you have been such a great resource. Thank you so much for this video. I realize now that I had no idea how to build a portfolio. I now have a better idea of what I need to start gathering. I can't wait for the next video. Thanks a bunch and many blessings!

[@mackenziemorgan2413]

thank you so much for your video! I appreciate it so much! I have one question though when your printing all your supporting documents do you print them in colour or B&W? I'm currently doing my Bachelor of Education so this is all new to me.

[@martinzarate5929]

Thank you so much. I been teaching for 12 years, and find this helpful because I been interviewing on Zoom. I will start working on the Portfolio.

[@meganjakinovich3363]

Thank you so much for all your videos. Quick question, if you link to "slide 5" for example but then add it will throw off your links, is there a way to link to a specific slide and not a slide number?

[@deloresfields3412]

Thank you so much I used your teaching portfolio for my last project and it turned out amazing, I got an A and I can also use it for interviewing...I really love your videos they are always so informative. Thanks again

[@theblossers3550]

I already purchased yours on TPT :) In school currently for Elementary Education and don't have too much longer until student teaching so I wanted to be prepared.

[@christinefischer9938]

Thanks for sharing this video. You always make more complicated tasks seem simple. Like how you used the presentation notes area to write down what would be in each section of the portfolio BEFORE picking the Table of Contents. So smart! 😊👍

[@benoodles]

Can you invent page protectors that act thick like card stock, so the regular paper seems substantial? I'd buy some!

[@elizabethkrajcik1636]

Do you suggest sending a digital teaching portfolio before or after an interview? Thanks in advance!

[@448753]

I purchased the lesson plan template, but I only got the PowerPoint, not the google slides.

[@sharontesi4273]

Just retired but watched this anyway...just because I love your vlogs LOL!

[@dorissaclaire]

I have an iPhone 8 and can scan documents (so I assume you can do this from a 7 as well, they’re cameras are the same I think!)

[@jazzyjacky10]

Hi Michelle, may I ask what program you record your videos? Thank you.

[@laniah444]

I tried using/following your video. However I felt like it was too fast for Mr to follow

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

You can always pause or change the playback speeds of KZbin videos!

[@marciacarbo9047]

How do you insert your Word Documents to your digital portfoilio on Microsoft Power Point?

[@melveenaswami8431]

Cant wait for the next video and thanks for making this one.. really helpful

[@2134knees]

Would you recommend doing a Portfolio if applying to Grad Schools?

[@annamalloy9484]

hi. what were the printing specs?

[@ariesphenix1]

Wow you are amazing! I cannot thank you enough. Thorough, easy to follow and organized.

[@mbuck327]

Thanks for your great videos!! I would love to hear your ideas on how you anticipate implementing hybrid teaching (if that’s what your district is doing) this fall! You have such great ideas and videos!

[@lupitaochoa9529]

Not looking for a new job, but always good to keep an updated portfolio. Thanks!

[@jessetownzen8554]

Would a regular 3 ring binder work just as fine as the one you said in the video?

[@shannonjohnson3162]

I have the portfolio and resume. Is there a template for a 2 page resume?

[@packnetadaija]

This is amazing! I start student teaching and I know that I need to start making my portfolio

[@thechildcareentrepreneur]

This is so great!! I have a hard copy portfolio as a childcare center owner and encourage my employees to create one as well. I will definitely create the digital one too. It is such a professional presentation no matter what career you enter. Thank you!!

[@angelar5017]

Thanks Michelle for sharing this video. I am all set to transition my hard copy portfolio and create a digital portfolio now! This is smart to have both versions on hand.

[@laurenw1404]

I just received my degree in May and tomorrow is my very first interview for a teaching position. This video was so helpful

[@kimberlynellessen33]

You can also get a small pdf extension through google extensions

[@emilyhendricks1912]

Thank you so much for posting this helpful video! I'm currently a highschooler, but have plans to major in either business administration or teaching, so these tips really helped!

[@24poojars]

This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing 😊👌👍

[@latzsmitz4514]

Can you do a video about e-portfolio for students?

[@amandarooney3646]

Hi, I finished my student teaching over a year ago and am working on my portfolio now. I unfortunately don’t have any photos of me in the classroom or my classroom. What do you suggest I do to vamp up my portfolio?

[@hildaguzman6925]

Definitely a late response, but I’ll respond in case someone else has the same question! What I did was I got on Pinterest and copied images and pasted them to her template to give a visual about the key points I wanted to hit. For example when I talked about behavior, I knew I’d incorporate a clip chart in my classroom, so I searched on Pinterest for a clip chart and added “clip chart sample” at the bottom of the rummage for everyone to see that I had an idea and plan for what to do. That is what the interview panel really wants to see from a teacher with no experience!

[@amandawilkins8403]

Michelle, thank you for such a helpful video. I am staying in my current teaching position, too, but have not updated my portfolio in two years. Now is the perfect time to update it. Thank you for your insights and clear instructions, as always!

[@MsBranwen]

Could you please please please explain HOW you got the yellow notification on the side of the document? I desperately need to use this ASAP!

[@MsBranwen]

Sorry, I've just realised this was on Google Slides and not Google Docs so I've sorted it now :) I wish there was an option to do this on Google Docs too!

[@alexmaira]

Like always THANK YOU SO MUCH Michelle for making high quality videos that help our teaching community! I ❤️ all of them!!!

[@jackiej5384]

This is the most helpful video EVER. Thank you for always having awesome content, Michelle. I am a first year teacher so all of these videos are great!
