Portfolios — purposeful and selective collections of authentic evidence regarding teaching and learning — occur increasingly in K‐12 classroom, preservice teacher education, and university initiatives to enhance teaching effectiveness of faculty. In addition to being used to improve instruction, portfolios can help teacher candidates with initial employment. This article describes an organized set of materials prospective school health educators should develop to accurately represent their newly acquired skills and competencies.
