• Florida D.O.E. requires a Portfolio to graduate from the EPI program as proof you have mastered the Educator Accomplished Practices.

• It gives you a professional collection of materials to use in telling perspective employers about your accomplishments.

• …If you don’t complete a Portfolio, you can’t get your Professional teaching certificate.
