eFolio
eFolio is a multimedia electronic portfolio, free for all Minnesota residents, including
students enrolled in Minnesota schools. The portfolio is easy to use and can incorporate
text, PowerPoint presentations, photos, audio and digital video. It also has privacy
features so that some materials are password protected.
Beginning this fall, the portfolio seminar introduces students to eFolio in preparation
for review panels.

Panelists needed
All licensure students are required to be assessed by a panel prior to their endorsement
for licenses in administration. The panel must consist of members representing the
University and currently licensed and practicing or recently retired administrators
from the metropolitan or greater Minnesota community.
Serving as a panelist requires a few hours of time in a single visit. As a panelist,
your role is to listen actively, ask questions, debrief with other members, and
determine if the candidate has met the required competencies. A University administrator
will lead the process.
For their time, panelists receive CEU hours as well as mileage and parking reimbursement.
Please share your knowledge and expertise with an aspiring administrator by serving
on their panel. For more information, contact Dr. Lynn Scearcy.
