During the course of the NEAG School of Education's Elementary Education English Language Arts Methods Class, EDCI 4110W, I was exposed to new terms, concepts, techniques, and resources. This Portfolio functions as my resource for implementing, understanding, making decisions and communicating with regard to research-based educational practices that improve literacy learning. This is a resource that I will use during my student teaching and throughout my teaching career. As a resource portfolio, this contains 12 principles and corresponding best practices that I have encountered in this class.
