FACULTY EXPECTATIONS IN    PHYSICAL EDUCATION HEALTH     

RE. PORTFOLIO ESSAYS  

• The general philosophy of above-named discipline regarding Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning essays may be summarized as follows:

Students should demonstrate that they have knowledge, skills, and/or performance abilities equal to specific subject disciplines offered in the Eastern Physical Education/Health program.   Students should refer to the catalog in making that decision.   General areas included in the Eastern program are Physical Education and Health, including Alcohol and Drug studies.

• Describe the nature of any dialogue expected between faculty in above-name discipline and students preparing portfolio essays in the discipline.

When in doubt, it would be appropriate for a student to contact the faculty reader to determine if the proposed experience is appropriate.

• Describe the nature of any specific requirements the above-name discipline will have regarding contents of the portfolio materials i.e., documentation, essay, bibliography were applicable, etc.

The student should follow the basic guidelines of portfolio preparation.   When requesting "activity" oriented credits the student should document their performance outcomes.   (i.e. a boating course ended when the student kayaked the Snake River).

• Describe issues regarding the general turnaround time for review of portfolio materials in the above-named discipline.

The current practice of allowing three weeks turnaround time is very appropriate.

• Provide any additional information that will help portfolio students in developing materials for faculty review in the above-named discipline.

1. Students should specify their credit request.
2. The essay should include theory (knowledge) and application.
