Within this portfolio, I will be documenting my progress towards completing each of these 5 core competencies, outlining the work I have done to fulfill the requirements of each competency, and reflecting on what I have learned through the process. I want to highlight that this is a work in progress, and I am still in the process of completing the requirements for each competency. I look forward to continuing to develop my teaching skills and knowledge and will continue to update this portfolio with my experiences as I progress through this program.
