Exceeds Expectations

Practice and Community
ePortfolio is very specific to only TQS and MET requirements.  It does not provide a bigger perspective, reflection or connection outside the program. ePortfolio does make connections to larger communities and provides resources and knowledge outside the MET program ePortfolio is a wide-reaching electronic resource that offers perspective, knowledge, artifacts and experiences to the education world at large.
 
Organization and Perspective
ePortfolio does not acknowledge itself, goals, or perspectives. ePortfolio briefly outlines the required aspects, and introduces goals, but does not evaluate the experience or result. ePortfolio extensively outlines its perspectives, transformations, goals, experiences and results.
Scholarly Connections and Research
ePortfolio does not reference or discuss the value and meaning of ePortfolios, with no references to any scholarly research or studies. ePortfolio makes references to the value and meaning in utilizing ePortfolios.  Some scholarly references included. ePortfolio makes extensive use of references to scholarly research and studies, connecting the experience and learning that is developed through an ePortfolio with the value and meaning.

The formatting of the ePortfolio  dramatically improves the clarity of the document.  References include links to the actual works themselves where possible.
