The University of Florida’s College of Education Lastinger Apprenticeship and SITE-Based Program promotes the development of educators who demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions (K, S, & D) necessary to promote the learning of all students within diverse settings. These K, S, and D’s are outlined in the 12 Florida Accomplished Practices and Reading Competency 2 . The Pre-professional Portfolio is the primary forum for documenting progress towards attaining these accomplished practices and is the type of authentic assessment that will allow the apprentices to illustrate their job-embedded learning with multiple forms of evidence and connected reflections. Campbell, Cignetti, Melenyzer, & Wyman (1997) describe the professional teaching portfolio as "an organized, goal-driven documentation of professional growth and achieved competence in the complex act called teaching" (p.3).
