Educational Leadership / Principal Portfolio
A Educational Leadership /Principal portfolio, like an artist's portfolio, is a collection of work that illustrates an individual's talents as an educator and leader (Doolittle, 1994). A portfolio creates a context for leadership experiences. A portfolio allows a principal to analyze his/her performance, to gather evidence that supports identified beliefs/standards, and to develop reflective rationales that connect teaching and learning. A principal portfolio is a structured collection of evidence of a principal's best work that is selective, reflective, and collaborative, and demonstrates a principal's accomplishments over time and across a variety of contexts (Edgerton, 1991).
