Overview

Here is a comprehensive, step-by-step approach for teaching school leader candidates and school leaders alike to develop a standards-based digital portfolio. The book and accompanying web sites provide three different templates and sample portfolios to choose from. In-depth instructions for the creation of a digital portfolio using TaskStream, LiveText, or PowerPoint are included. In addition, the book includes self-assessments aligned with the ISLLC 2008 standards and with the NETS-A 2009 standards and a technology self-assessment inventory-all of which can be used both for planning and for evaluation purposes. The authors provide a wide array of suggested activities, worksheets, and rubrics and address the use of technology by school administrators and the development and use of the digital portfolio in the curriculum.

Editorial Reviews

Hauser and Koutouzos fill the chasm that currently exists on the use of digital portfolios for school leader preparation. The authors address issues related to portfolio use with school leaders, education leadership candidates, and those responsible for preparing the next generation of leaders. They illuminate clearly, through a critical review of theory and extant literature, that digital portfolios can act as teaching, learning, communication, and leadership tools to become the genesis of change at the local level.

Hauser and Koutouzos have mapped out not only a direction for moving the educational administration curriculum forward but a process to document the quality of student outcomes—for students and programs—through a standards-based digital portfolio.
