Abstract
Dietetic educators in university settings are under increased pressure to publish their scholarship and document their teaching effectiveness by linking instructional performance to student outcomes. A course portfolio, approached as an investigation, enables educators to organize selected details of their teaching effort and engage in a reflective analysis that leads to viable conclusions about instructional performance and student outcomes. Effective portfolios consist of an evidence-based narrative plus appendices which critically study selected information about teaching in areas such as philosophy, methodologies, materials, student ratings, peer reviews, and efforts to improve teaching. A successful portfolio also gathers and studies materials from oneself, materials from others and products of student learning. As more universities accept Ernest Boyer's definition of scholarship, which includes the scholarship of teaching, course portfolios will enable educators to provide additional evidence of their teaching effectiveness while undergoing promotion, tenure and post-tenure review processes. This session will illustrate the development of a course portfolio and its use in the post-tenure review process.
