EDUC X 426.9 CTEL Portfolio
1.0 units
The CTEL Portfolio brings together learning and field experiences from the other CTEL courses in a cohesive manner. Candidates collaborate with instructors from each course individually to determine an appropriate field assignment based on academic and professional interests and establish the material that should be included in the CTEL Portfolio. Although field assignments differ between candidates, everyone must complete a CTEL Portfolio that documents their experiences, including organized reflections and evidence of knowledge, skills and abilities.
Prerequisite(s): Enrollment is restricted to students who have completed EDUC 804.1, EDUC X 426, EDUC X 426.1, EDUC X 426.2 and EDUC X 426.3 and submitted an approved application to UCLA Extension’s English Learner Added Authorization program.
