Adjunct Certification Program Portfolio

Purpose: The purpose of the ACP Portfolio is to tell the story of your experience with this
program. This compilation of your work in the course will allow others to observe and celebrate
your growth as a teacher.
Content: Your portfolio will consist of assignments you complete with the ultimate goal of
creating a fully developed lesson plan using the BOPPPS model.
BOPPPS is an acrostic that references the following elements of a lesson:
B: bridge to the lesson
O: objectives
P: pre-assessment
P: participatory lesson
P: post-assessment
S: summary
Most assignments in this program will contribute toward that lesson in some way. Each of the four
modules in the course will ask you to produce different elements of that lesson. In the image
below, the capitalized letter of the BOPPPS acrostic identified above each module represents the
part of the BOPPPS lesson to which your assignments are related.

Portfolio Showcase Presentation: At the last class meeting, you will share elements of your
portfolio in a 10 minute presentation.
Final Product: An electronic presentation that contains your ACP story, complete with tangible
evidence of your accomplishments. We hope you will choose to share this with your department
chairs, deans, and fellow faculty!

Can you manage college finances? In our next class session together, we will be
discussing ways to manage college finances.

Remember that class contribution is part of your grade so read the following:

Read Chapter 11, Managing Your Money in College from the textbook. While you
are reading ask yourself:

 Why is college financial literacy important?
 What tips from the chapter are useful for money management?
 Which subjects are useful for money management at college?

Write down your thoughts based on these questions and bring them to class. Be
ready to discuss with the class.

During computer lab time, go through Modules 1 and 2. While listening to the
information in the modules, ask yourself:

 In Module 1, Psychology of Money, how will you apply at least one concept
about money?

 In Module 2, College and Money, why was this module created for college
students?

 What were my initial thoughts about college finances?

Write a response to the questions in your composition book after listening to the

Reflective Essay

ACP – Reflective Essay
With the existence of the Adjunct Certification Program (ACP), college
instructors can gain additional instructional insight. The program is extremely valuable
for all adjunct professors. The useful strategies and techniques are quite beneficial. The
certification program is condensed, but it has quality material in the instructional outline.
Within the 150 Technology Methods and Interactive Lecture documents, I was able to see
methods utilized already as well as other methods that can be implemented in my
education course. The online information links within the program modules had detailed
pictures, content, charts and videos. The knowledge gained through the certification
program enabled me to incorporate three resources or strategies within my current First
Year Experience course.
When I implemented various methods and strategies as the ACP program
progressed, my First Year Experience course benefited from those changes. I returned to
previously taught lessons and added/modified details to enhance lessons for next
semester. I incorporated the following in my course:
• Technology App within a lesson
• RSS feed within Course Management System
• Rubric regarding searching for sources and citation of sources located while
researching
While actively engaged in the ACP program, I utilized a different slide program for my
Showcase presentation. The knowledge gained benefited me as an instructor.
During the ACP program, I was able to become a more effective instructor. The
full process of a lesson was revisited, especially after covering Madeline Hunter lesson
