To ensure a cohesive portfolio, plan for instruction using a three-tiered approach. Begin with a high-level outline of content to be taught during the year. Next, reduce that yearly plan to include content and skills by semester. Finally, make a weekly plan with your goals for content and skills instruction. The three tiers of planning will demonstrate your ability to plan both long term and short term instructional goals. Include the yearly outline, semester plan, and daily calendar in the communications portion of your portfolio.
