Book excerpt: Electronic portfolios have received a great deal of attention in teacher education in the past ten to fifteen years. Commensurate with this attention has been the great deal of change in technologies that have contributed to electronic portfolio development. Throughout this evolution, three themes have emerged in the literature related to e-portfolios in teacher education. These themes include e-portfolios for learning, e-portfolios for evaluation and assessment, and e-portfolios for employment. This Executive Position Paper explores the themes in the literature along with a sampling of e-portfolio models to inform the creation of an electronic framework and e-portfolio model that integrates the components of learning, evaluation, assessment, and employment into one integrated tool. This paper focuses specifically on the developmental process for creating an integrated e-portfolio system for teacher education, and provides a plan to evaluate e-portfolios that result from the e-portfolio development process presented in this Executive Position Paper.
