The professional portfolio is a written document containing a comprehensive Teacher Work Sample. It provides direct evidence of the teacher candidate’s ability to design and implement a multiweek, standards-based unit of instruction; assess student learning; and then reflect on the learning process. The WGU Teacher Work Sample requires teacher candidates to plan and teach a multiweek, standards-based instructional unit consisting of seven components: (1) contextual factors, (2) learning goals, (3) assessment, (4) design for instruction, (5) instructional decision making, (6) analysis of student learning, and (7) self-evaluation and reflection.
