USING AN ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIO TO TRANSLATE THEORY INTO PRACTICE FOR FIELDWORK IN EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION

The purpose of this paper is to describe the National University Educational Administration Preliminary Credential Portfolio Fieldwork program, translating theory into practice. This paper will also trace the lengthy developmental process from the traditional hardcopy fieldwork portfolio that candidates have traditionally assembled over the past 20 years to the newly developed e-portfolio. The e-portfolio will be described in detail. Candidates post their fieldwork activities and documentation online, which has encouraged more student/faculty interaction throughout the entire fieldwork process, and has provided more consistent instructor grading from a rubric, and more complete data reporting for the university accrediting agencies.
