WELCOME TO ISABEL'S PORTFOLIO Hi you! I'm Isabel and this is my portfolio. I'll be delighted to have you here. Feel free to inspect, analyse and use all the materials and ideas inside. I'd be happy to receive your comments, suggestions or whatever you want to let me know. My email address is isabelaraez@yahoo.es                                                          In what follows, you will find an OUTLINE of my portfolio so as to  make access easier to you. You can also identify each section by the different colours they have been assigned:                                                                                                 SECTION I is devoted to my administrative and teaching competences in my school. SECTION II covers feedback and it is divided into two main sections, namely,Informed Feedback and Formal Feedback. In the former, you will find feedback as related to my colleagues, headmaster, inspector, parents and students. The latter, as its name indicates, includes a brief comment on the formal feedback  we receive in my school. In SECTION III, General, I analyse different activities I have been assigned in my school, extracurricular activities and several initiatives in my school. Another issue is that of evaluation. It entails evaluation by 'others', in my case, meant as individual and teaching team assessment; evaluation by the headmaster and inspector. Proffessional Qualifications include my certificates of participation, (which can be found in Participation in Training) and another section dedicated to qualifications themselves. The last part of this section includes personal information. SECTION IV is entitled Mission and it has to do with my personal views on effective teaching and learning as regards to appropriate metholology for FL teaching and learning; on pedagogical issues and effective learning strategies in the classroom. A second part handles my views on helping students to respect individual differences (personal and academic attitudes to promote on students and some activites related to thei development);important goals understood as the educational aims for a schoolyear, and some personal opinions on Euroean,national (Spanish) educational policies. One other section on European-national policies entails a summary and criticism of the evolution of educational policies in Spain within a European framework. SECTION V, Reflections, analyses four main issues, that is,database, extracurricular, students and teaching methodology. First, Database includes an explanation of different activities and materials for classroom use and some examples in assignments, a comment on students' homework and evaluation tools together with a few examples. Extracurricular refers mainly to the kind of communication i have with parents and assigned extra curricular activities. Others includes my favourite web sites. Students includes matters such as the attitudes they are required to develop during their learning proccess, behaviour they are expected ro conform to, their participation in extracurricular activities and the relationships between teachers ans students, students-students and students and others. In Teaching methodology, you will find a brief enlargement of the section devoted to Personal views on effective learning and teaching methodology in the Methodology section. In planning, i show some of the didactic units i have elaborated and put into pracise with my students, and some links on the web. Finally, in Technology, i account for the technological resources as proposed by the Spanish educational system and the ones i use with my students.  NOTE: You can find pictures  distributed in  different  sections of the portfolio.   I hope you enjoy it!
