Colin Verbesey's Educational Portfolio

Welcome to my educational portfolio!  My name is Colin Verbesey, and I am a graduating senior at the College of William and Mary.  On May 16, 2007, I will complete eight thrilling, exhausting weeks of student teaching.  On May 20, 2007, I will complete four equally exciting years of college.  Sad as I will be to leave my college friends and my sixth grade gremlins, I will leave knowing that I could not be better prepared for my next challenge: full time teaching in the secondary classroom.

This portfolio is evidence of that preparation. Inside you will find my educational philosophy, my resume, and my metaphor for teaching.  In addition to this basic information, you will also find out how my teaching corresponds with all aspects of the William and Mary conceptual framework and how my lessons meet -- and, in some cases, exceed -- the expectations laid out by the School of Education.  

It is in these lessons -- these interactive, multidisciplinary lesson -- that my pedagogical enthusiasm shines through most.
