Licensure Assessment Resources
There are a number of licensure assessment resources available to prepare you for your licensure assessments.
Repository of Artifacts for Teaching (RAFT) ePortfolio
All students in initial certification teacher preparation programs are required to complete the Repository of Artifacts for Teaching (RAFT) ePortfolio. The RAFT serves as documentation of proficiency in essential teaching skills and participation in required professional experiences, reflecting expectations for a year-long teaching internship.
Each course in the program—including the final internship—has specific evidence requirements that must be uploaded to the RAFT and accompanied by a justification statement. Students should refer to individual course syllabi for details about course-specific requirements.
The RAFT is located in Student Learning & Licensure (SL&L), and all students have an SL&L account. The RAFT student handbook includes step-by-step instructions for setting up the ePortfolio, uploading artifacts, writing justification statements, and sharing the RAFT with instructors or potential employers.
