Step 2. Learner, Expert, or Scholar

Introduction. One of the most important questions asked during the previous exercise had to do with Who would be using the portfolio. Remember this question from Foley?

What "flavor" of portfolio you will adopt depends in large measure on where you are in your academic career. We have designed a checklist to help identify your own characteristics as an educator. Check the boxes that apply to you, then click on the icon at the bottom of the list containing the most number of checked boxes.
