TRB Standards Intro

The ePortfolio is designed to be an individualized representation of you and your achievements in the VIU Education program.  Many students use the ePortfolio as part of their resume; as a place to house resources and ideas for easy retrieval; as a class Web site; as a lesson plan and unit organizer; and much more. 

The ePortfolio also forms part of the B.C. Teachers' Council (Branch of the Ministry of Education) and VIU Faculty of Education requirements for graduation. You may be utilizing your ePortfolio in your PB Year 6 / B Ed Year 5 Exit Interview/Presentation.  One of the key elements of the presentation will be your ePortfolio section on the BCTC standards.

Let's start by setting up the pages you will need in your ePortfolio.  

In your ePortfolio:

• Create a BCTC Landing Page on your site
• Place a link on the page (as a button or image if you like)  to the Current Standards.  You have a choice between linking to:
  • The Web Page
  • Or you may wish to help your audience avoid any need to click by placing the text of the standards right on your landing page.
• Create nine subpages under the Landing Page - a page for each of the nine standards.  Your navigation should look like the one on the right, where you hover over the TRB Landing page and a dropdown of the Standards pages shows up.
• Alternately, you can create an image gallery or button navigation in a section on the Landing Page.  This method keeps your navigation links on the top of your page cleaner. These methods were shown to you on the Headers & Navigation page.

As you move through the program, you will be including many items into your ePortfolio, so you might wish to think about the standards with each item you include.  It is an easy thing to provide a link to that item of evidence if it is already in your ePortfolio.
