Summary: An invaluable resource for novice teachers
Comment: The collaborative effort of Dorothy M. Campbell, Pamela Bondi Cignetti, Beverly J. Melenzyer, Diane H. Nettles, and Richard M. Wyman Jr., and now in an updated third edition, How To Develop A Professional Portfolio: A Manual For Teachers is a "user friendly" guide to creating an classroom educator's portfolio - "an organized, goal-driven documentation of your professional growth and achieved competence in the complex act called teaching" - for use in interviews and the furtherance of a career in teaching. Individual chapters cogently address the organization and format of portfolios; the option of an electronic portfolio; the full potential of portfolios in the ongoing process of one's career, and more. How To Develop A Professional Portfolio is an invaluable resource for novice teachers seeking their first professional assignment, as well as experienced educators seeking advancement, or having to re-establishing themselves professionally after downsizes, transfers, promotions, resettlement, or re-entry into teaching after a period of absence from the field.

Summary: Different From What I Expected (but that's good!)
Comment: Yes, this is a thin book, and yes, it's filled with valuable information, especially if you've never put a portfolio together before OR you want your portfolio to stand out from the many.
I am a Master's student in education, and all of us are required to put portfolios together. After seeing what my peers had put together, I KNEW a professional portfolio shouldn't look that way...sloppy, cutesy, B-A-D. I wanted mine to stand apart.
And that's why you should not leave Amazon today without this book. Your portfolio will stand meters above the competition's, and it will be put together in such a way that showcases your talent as an educator.
Good luck!

Summary: Pricey but essential
Comment: Yes, I see the price. I know its thinner than the average pad of paper, but you want this. Trust me. Well if you are studying to be a teacher you want this. Assuming that the person looking at this page is probably looking for a good deal on this twenty three dollar eighty page book (does it qualify as a book?) because their prof has assigned it--please, think past the price. This is a book I picked up when I started my program and didn't look at again until I was nearing the end, and at that point began seriously regretting not giving the book some attention all the way through. Portfolios don't have to be that hard, and this book gives you some clear cut SOLID example for what you can do for each standard. The great thing is, if you do read through this book and keep an eye on your growing portfolio while you are in college, you'll find there are all sorts of things--mostly the papers you write in all those classes that you can use here. What's even better is this will help keep you focused on developing your own skills as a teacher in both qualitative and quantitative ways instead of just going into it with no idea of where the road leads.
Lastly, I find that a lot of books for educators are not the greatest thing in the world. This tiny handbook IS. This is like one of those little pocket bibles or tao te ching's or something. Take it with you wherever you go and consult it as new situations arise!
