RISD Master of Arts in Teaching Program Portfolio
Welcome to my RISD MAT Program Portfolio, which is a required component of the MAT Degree Project. This portfolio provides comprehensive documentation of my work and experiences in the Department of Art Design Education’s cohort teacher preparation program during the academic year 2006-2007.

The portfolio provides a profile of my personal background and experiences as an artist linked to my philosophy of teaching art design to students in elementary and secondary school settings. Additionally, for each course in the program, I provide samples of evidence, which demonstrate my proficiency in meeting the Rhode Island Beginning Teacher Standards. Further, beyond the required coursework, I provide documentation of evidence that showcases my involvement in community-based teaching and how I have throughout the MAT Program maintained personal connections to the discipline of art & design.
