Michelle, your videos are so inspiring; you are so easy to relate to. I'm currently student teaching, and will graduate in May with a Masters and my teaching certification. As I begin preparing for interviews and teacher recruitment fairs, watching your videos have been very beneficial. I have created a website that shows many of my strengths and highlights many lessons but I plan on also creating a binder portfolio so that I have evidence in my hand of everything. Thank you for taking the time to create your videos! I highly appreciate them and I look forward to watching every weekend!
I had my first interview today and this portfolio saved my butt! I was able to have all of my ideas organized into one place and my interviewers really liked how organized I was! They also asked to see my portfolio and i was able to walk them through it seamlessly! Just waiting to see if I get a call back now!!
I've been teaching for 18 years and considering a change in schools. This was helpful even for a veteran teacher like me! Thank you so much for compiling this! :)
I would love to see what your first portfolio looked like. I will be getting ready to interview for the first time, as a new teacher, and I don't have a whole lot to put in my portfolio. I really wish I had known to work on one before starting my internship!
Hi Olivia, you can add so much to your portfolio! You can write at least three lesson plans (a literacy, math, and science one), design your classroom using a website and add pictures of it, add information on how you would communicate with parents etc. just add things that you would use in your classroom when you have one. Good luck!
Hi Michelle, I love your videos. I am an elementary ed teaching candidate from Connecticut and your channel has really given me a perspective on what a teacher's day to day life is. One video I would like to see is what advice you would give to a student who is in the process of becoming a teacher. Thanks! :)
I purchased your portfolio template(s) when I learned that I needed a teaching portfolio for an OOS (out of state interview). I had an interview at a top school and wanted something to help show what I've done throughout my time teaching. Your templates were the perfect guide. I stumbled across your teaching channel and saw you demonstrate how you used your pages to create the whole package. I added photos of my classroom, bold texts to share teaching styles, routines, organization and more. Each page you created helped me have a clear vision for essentials needed in the portfolio. I got the job, and I would like to say thank you. I know that having a clean and well prepared portfolio helped me stand out! You did a phenomenal job creating this product and I will recommend it to others! This does not do the work for you, but it does help you organize your information to complete an awesome portfolio. Happy Teaching!
Great information - I am not a primary school educator but I am preparing a portfolio to take with me on interviews for a college lecturer. I was able to use several of your ideas in my portfolio, and your creativity sparked a lot of additional ideas that I could use to make my portfolio standout in an interview. Thank you.
You are my teaching savior! Working on master's and I'm nervous as heck to start student teaching! I made nightly homework assignments to myself to watch at least one of your videos (even have a notebook for notes!). I'll be student teaching next January, so better off to start planning now! Your videos are so inspiring and you seem like an awesome teacher and friend! Thankful to have found you on CZcams! Keep up the GREAT work! As a future educator, I really appreciate them!
I just thought I should let you know that this along with a few of your other videos have been part of the materials that I have had to watch for my teaching courses at my local college! And I actually discovered your videos a while ago, so when I saw your video for the assignment, I was like "Hey its pocketful of primary!"
I love love love all your videos. I have purchased your portfolio pack, resume pack and the interview packs. I am so in love with them all and working on them as we speak. I would love to see a mock interview on how you would actually use the portfolio in the interview. Personally I always bring a note pad with my notes to an interview but I always feel o strange to look at my notes when asked a question. Just curious on what it would actually look like in actuality. Thanks so much for all that you do - all your videos, TPT packs and all. Very helpful and tons of great ideas!
Thank you so much for putting together this video! I have my degree & certifications for foreign languages 5-12 but the secondary education students were not required to do this portfolio for graduation. Only elementary education majors! I have a portfolio that I threw together years ago before an interview but it has not really been updated. I have an interview in a few weeks and I watched this video (along with your interview tips and resume tips) and I plan on revising the portfolio and resume again this week. Thank you so much for the time you put in! Even if you are an elementary school teacher, please know that your information is valuable to educators of ALL ages! :)
Very impressive! Saving this should I ever need it! I've never created a portfolio. I have no idea how I managed to get a job ten years ago - I didn't know the answers to any of the questions! So when I went through an intense interview for our Teacher of the Year process, I took random pages and notes that were SO helpful. I didn't know where to begin to put them together officially. Your binder is the perfect visual example! Thank you for your willingness to share!
This video along with your resume video is what I have been looking for!!! I have about 2 years left until I get my bachelors in teaching 2nd Curriculum. Can you make a video about your Microsoft certifications and how that helped you become a more productive educator?
Thank you so much! I prepared for an interview by practicing responses to questions from your other video, but I did not have time to update my portfolio to this degree from my college lesson plans from two years ago until afterwards. When I finished my portfolio and sent it to the school's administration, thanking them again for their time, I basically said "thanks but no thanks" on their only open position teaching 5th (since I prefer 2nd). They replied with how impressed they were and are discussing rearranging teachers to offer me a 3rd grade position! Thank you so much for all the amazing and effective content you create. :)
@@jaydel3 I do not hate 5th graders at all! Nor did I mean to imply that. As I said above, I prefer younger kids. That is the age group for which I... ...prepared most for in college, ...interned in college, ...purchased an extensive classroom library for out of my own pocket, ...purchased materials and resources for 2nd grade standards out of my pocket, ...wrote all of my lesson plans to date based on 2nd grade standards, ...have several years of experience, and ...am generally best prepared for and capable of teaching. Does that make sense? If ever I have to teach 5th, I am sure it would be equally rewarding, but I would have to start all over with all new standards, all new lesson plans, purchase a ton of new books (because 5th graders are mostly reading chapter books and some 2nd graders are still learning how to sound out many words), and I can't afford to make those investments on the last of my salary from last year. I am also headed into a private school setting where I will make even less (but the environment is better and so worth it). I know there are grants available through Donors Choose and such, but I'm hoping to land a job in a grade level for which I am ready (or closer to ready).
I don’t think I can thank you enough for this video. I just applied for my temporary teaching certification here in Florida, and my transcripts have juuust been submitted. This video could not have been more helpful, detailed, and organized. Thank you so much!
Eres simplemente asombrosa!! Estoy sin palabras con todo lo que me has ayudado, has despertado mi pasión por todo lo que hacía y las ganas de soñar para mejorar cada día. Gracias desde Ciudad de México.
I don't know how many times I have watched this, but I am working on slowly revamping my portfolio for the future if I ever decide to leave my current job. And since it's a new school year, I have all year to keep it in mind and get pictures and items to put into my portfolio without having to look through all my old files (that I'm not honestly that happy with anyway)! Thank you so much for putting this video up and going through everything with us, it has truly helped! Also, I know you may not even be checking these comments anymore since this video is so old, but I'm anxiously awaiting your next mail haul video! I sent you something a while ago, and I want to make sure you got it! :) Lots of love from Ohio!
HI Michelle! I'm in my 3rd year of my teaching degree in South Africa and your videos are so inspiring! Loved this video and all your tips. Makes me feel so much more confident and prepared for when I have to start going for interviews! 🌸
I swear I should just make a playlist of all your videos to revisit when I'm preparing to apply for jobs in December lol. As a soon-to-be first year teacher, I would love to see a video all about your classroom procedure checklist for the beginning of the year! I feel like there's so much a new teacher can forget about among all the hustle and bustle.
It was so refreshing to hear you say how Live Text is not user friendly...which I have been thinking throughout my Bachelor degree journey. Therr are some documents I have uploaded that I will print from it but the profile itself is something I'm not sure I will use in interviews! Thank you for this helpful video!!
This is super neat. The panel at my school was so impressed with my knowledge and resume that I actually got hired as a teacher instead of an assistant. But if I had this too I think they would have exploded and hired me that day 😂 I think the philosophy of education is important. My school actually had me fill out a long survey checking for bias and see if my views align with the schools.
Love your videos. In Australia, we had to do a similar online portfolio as part of our final university assignments. Which of course nobody asks to read! I will definitely be buying this to help me keep up to date with all my important teaching documents etc.
Thank you so much for this! I'm getting ready to put mine together, however I've never taught before (aside from subbing) so mine will be lacking a lot, but it's a great start!
I just watched this video for the second time and took notes haha! I'm putting together a required, online portfolio for graduation, but now I am much more interested in creating my 'real' portfolio! Thank you for this series! The timing could not be more perfect!
I love your portfolio, thank you for sharing it. I am currently still in school and one year away from graduation, looking at all the work that goes into getting hired is nerve wracking. Your videos have been so helpful.
Michelle, you mentioned using photographs in your portfolio. I am currently a Substitute Teacher. Do you think it would be a good idea to create a classroom map of what I would want my own classroom to look like? Thank you so much!
This is so helpful. I am student interning next fall and student teaching next spring. I can't wait to start putting together my portfolio! I love how yours looks.Thanks SO much for this!
Hey Michelle, thank you for taking the time out to create and share these videos with us! I am currently student teaching and will be graduating this May with my Masters in Teaching and will be NYS certified (hopefully, fingers crossed). I will definitely purchase your product, as well as others, featured in this video to help me stand out when I go in for an interview. Trying to get a job in NY is not easy, however, I feel as though this will help me stand out from the rest! Thank you thank you for this and I will keep you updated on my future endeavors! 😊😊
Michelle, thank you so much for all of your videos! I am starting my journey looking for my first teaching job and your videos are helping me so much! I know you spend a lot of time on these videos, you need to know that they are serving so many! Keep it up! You are doing awesome!
I am so grateful for all of this advice! As a teacher candidate in my final year of teacher's college this is so helpful and I am excited to implement your suggestions :)
This is amazing, I'm creating a portfolio just like this for self satisfaction and professionalism. Sadly there are so many vacancies in this line of work that you don't really need something this intricate to find employment.
I'm rewatching this as I create my first portfolio as a new teacher. Are you going to make a new video with your updated portfolio? I would love to see that!! I purchased your tpt pack and love it! Thank you!!
This video was a MAJOR help! I bought and used your template to nail my first interview. Just making it really helped me prepare for that big day. I'm getting ready to go for the second interview with the principal and then hopefully onto the demo lesson. Any advice about what to do for a demo lesson? Thanks!
I’m in process of creating my own teaching portfolio and this has been really helpful, thank you! We’re supposed to make an online one through Weebly and i just prefer the handheld one so much more!
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm going to start my student teaching next year, so it's nice to go in with some ideas of what I can try to take down evidence of for a portfolio!
Love your videos - so informative and enthusiastic! Great ideas for an old teacher to incorporate into my portfolio as I go back on the job hunt! Keep up the great work.
I'm creating my portfolio and I've been looking for some inspiration as to how I should set it up. I'm such an organizational freak and I love being neat, so this was perfect for me! I will definitely use your templates !!
Sites using wix, weebly or wikispaces could be an online portfolio. I'm sure there are many more options for digital portfolio as well! Thanks for the video!
Can you please do an updated portfolio and also tips on setting up a portfolio for just out of college teachers I'm in my last year as an undergrad and I want to be as prepared as possible....I love all of your videos and thank you for doing what you do :)
I bought a green binder so I could add a cover to the front, but you would highly suggest putting it in a professional binder? Thinking that might be easier for career fairs also.. thanks! I didn't even consider a professional binder. Your portfolio looks great! I can't tell you how many people told me not to create one, but I was thinking of it as security as well and had fun making it!
Hi. New subscriber here.. I'm just a student in hs and still undecided in what to major.. But I love your videos so much and you're so dedicated to your students.. Keep it up!
I feel sooo inadequate. I'm not an education grad & I am switching from corporate America to teaching. I have education related experience explained on my resume & a lesson outline along with presentation. That's going to have to do it for me in my interview tomorrow LOL
I'm in my student teaching semester, and we are required to do an e-portfolio rather than an actual portfolio binder. Do you have any tips for creating an e-portfolio using weebly?
Do you have any advice for those of us who are student teaching on what to include in the Classroom Management section? I don't have my own procedures, rules, transitioning strategies in place and able to photograph since I am in my host teacher's classroom. Is it ok to have sections for things I would do in my future classroom? Like how I would keep an organized classroom/library, how I would track student behavior? If I want to use Class Dojo in the future, would it be ok to describe how I want to use it and include a picture like you did? Thanks so much!
Rachel Flitton Yes! Including those is better than not including them at all. They won't expect new teachers to have pictures but would appreciate if you describe what you WOULD do if you have your own classroom.
I love, love, love your videos! They have been a huge help. With learning more about integrating technology in the classroom, what would be the best Continuing Education class I could take as a brand new teacher? Or what CEU/professional development classes have you found most helpful?
Michelle, your video has been very helpful. I really like your data sheet. I couldn't find it in your TPT store. Thanks again and I am certain this will help when I go into interview.
Thankyou so much. To improve wour classroom pictures, just take them right in front of what you need, just like the one you took of your flipbook. Avoid angles and allways take them when the room is brightest ;D
Good Morning Mitchell I really enjoyed watching all of your videos exspecially the one how to "create a Teaching portfolio".But I wanted to know how did you go about making your (all black binder "tabs " ) with the wording on it .
I am going back and reviewing all of your videos about teaching portfolios, thank you, thank you, thank you! Has anything changed since you created this portfolio? Is there anything else I should include in mine? 🙂
I have two more years until I graduate but I am a Teacher Assistant. Would you recommend taking photos now as a TA? I do teach occasionally, do small groups, and centers.
I just graduated from college and going in for a Teaching assistant job but the email I got said teaching positions so I’m covering all my bases. :) I am most likely starting off as a TA because I’m an English major.
I'm randomly watching through all of your videos and you are the Leslie Knope of teaching.

My professors suggest that I put all my lesson plans that I had to create for class, because it shows my ideal teaching and such.
Your video helped me to not only create an awesome portfolio, it also helped me land the job. Thank you!
Aaaand just like that I'm terrified to interview
I know!! How can we top that?

I bought a green binder so I could add a cover to the front, but you would highly suggest putting it in a professional binder? Thinking that might be easier for career fairs also.. thanks! I didn't even consider a professional binder. Your portfolio looks great! I can't tell you how many people told me not to create one, but I was thinking of it as security as well and had fun making it!
Extremely thankful for this video... very helpful for me as a new teacher
Hi. New subscriber here.. I'm just a student in hs and still undecided in what to major.. But I love your videos so much and you're so dedicated to your students.. Keep it up!
I feel sooo inadequate. I'm not an education grad & I am switching from corporate America to teaching. I have education related experience explained on my resume & a lesson outline along with presentation. That's going to have to do it for me in my interview tomorrow LOL
Oh my ..I just feel like...I wish I can do this like u
This is the most helpful video I have ever seen! You are amazing!!! Thank you!!!
I train teachers through Project WILD and Flying WILD in Virginia so was excited to see your certificate!! :)
I'm in my student teaching semester, and we are required to do an e-portfolio rather than an actual portfolio binder. Do you have any tips for creating an e-portfolio using weebly?
I had to do an eportfolio as well..I ditched that as soon as I graduated and am going paper.
AHHHH! you are such an inspiration!
Do you have any advice for those of us who are student teaching on what to include in the Classroom Management section? I don't have my own procedures, rules, transitioning strategies in place and able to photograph since I am in my host teacher's classroom. Is it ok to have sections for things I would do in my future classroom? Like how I would keep an organized classroom/library, how I would track student behavior? If I want to use Class Dojo in the future, would it be ok to describe how I want to use it and include a picture like you did? Thanks so much!
Rachel Flitton Yes! Including those is better than not including them at all. They won't expect new teachers to have pictures but would appreciate if you describe what you WOULD do if you have your own classroom.
Thanks Erica for your videos
So helpful! Thank you for sharing all your great ideas!
I love, love, love your videos! They have been a huge help. With learning more about integrating technology in the classroom, what would be the best Continuing Education class I could take as a brand new teacher? Or what CEU/professional development classes have you found most helpful?
Really good video! Your portfolio sections are not the same we must have in my district but it gave me a lot of ideas. Thanks!
Michelle, your video has been very helpful. I really like your data sheet. I couldn't find it in your TPT store. Thanks again and I am certain this will help when I go into interview.
Yay! I was so excited for this video. I'm still in college, but one of my major assignments is to make a teacher portfolio.
Thankyou so much. To improve wour classroom pictures, just take them right in front of what you need, just like the one you took of your flipbook. Avoid angles and allways take them when the room is brightest ;D
You are amazing!! I feel like we have similar mindsets so I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos.
Seriously, i love this video! I am currently preparing my stuff, and because of this vids!!!! Seems like my portfolio will be very attractive
Very well thought about and effective document..great job
You're a godess of teaching 😆
Excellent portfolio... very useful for teacher...
Good Morning Mitchell I really enjoyed watching all of your videos exspecially the one how to "create a Teaching portfolio".But I wanted to know how did you go about making your (all black binder "tabs " ) with the wording on it .
I am going back and reviewing all of your videos about teaching portfolios, thank you, thank you, thank you! Has anything changed since you created this portfolio? Is there anything else I should include in mine? 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you! So many great tips!
Good idea.
I find this video to be very informative.I love it. Fantastic !!!!!!!
Never had a portfolio and Always get hired, When I ask co teachers if they have a portfolio they usually say no.
I have two more years until I graduate but I am a Teacher Assistant. Would you recommend taking photos now as a TA? I do teach occasionally, do small groups, and centers.
Kim Ott Yes! It shows your experience in the classroom and your involvement with the students
I just graduated from college and going in for a Teaching assistant job but the email I got said teaching positions so I’m covering all my bases. :) I am most likely starting off as a TA because I’m an English major.
