The National Teacher Council (NTC) is set to begin its first ever Portfolio Assessment from 4th of October 2021. This assessment will come to an end on 14th December 2021.
NQTs are therefore requested to as much as possible to submit the artefacts listed as items 1- 21 to the portfolio assessors for assessment during their visits to the Newly Qualified Teachers.
This is the only means to indicate that the NQTs spent the induction period in classroom and so are eligible to be recommended for license to practice as a professional teacher with one-year professional experience.
According to NTC, the portfolio assessment is an evaluation system to assess the work of qualified teachers as the primary requirements for the renewal of teachers licence.
Teaching portfolio provides evidence of teachers’ work and goal accomplishments. The portfolio describes the beliefs of the teacher and how such beliefs influence the way the teacher practice. The artefacts provided in the portfolio provide undoubtable fact the teacher is the architect of what s/he claims.
The portfolio helps to justify the good work of the teacher in contributing to promotion of high standards of teaching and learning. The portfolio also provides opportunity for sharing of best practices.
