Sr. Portfolio Make the work as simple as possible for yourself by using the same artifact for multiple evidence developing a few comprehensive lesson plans that fully implement standards and INTASC principles pointing to different elements of the same lesson plan to demonstrate standards and INTASC principles

Sr. Portfolio Create wonderful artifacts. If your artifact is not readily available reviewers will simply mark it as not present. Attach it in every place in the LiveText portfolio where it applies. Make a plain document and then highlight or bold areas (renaming the altered document) that apply to each standard and describe in the LiveText window why the artifact is relevant for that section.
