Enhancing Confidence in Preservice Teachers through Standards-Based ePortfolios

This paper explores the implementation of standards-based ePortfolios for preservice teacher assessment at ASU West. With a focus on an urban university environment of 800 students, many being adult learners, the study identifies the lack of confidence among graduates due to insufficient exposure to technology integration in both coursework and field experiences. It discusses the importance of a well-structured curriculum, faculty development, and consistent technical support in facilitating student success. The ePortfolio approach provides individualization, reflection, and a professional showcasing of skills aligned with state and NETS-T standards.
