Can you provide me with a link that shows examples of teacher portfolios?

I am going to a job fair this month to try to get a job as a high school English teacher. Because the field is so competitive right now, I need to have an outstanding portfolio to hand to employers. I intend to make a digital portfolio on a cd, but I also want to make a hard copy. Do you have links to websites that show professional examples of tangible portfolios? If not, what types of things do you put in your portfolio? Is it professional to put a picture of myself (not teaching) in the portfolio?

1. Here's a couple links I found for you: http://www.wsu.edu/provost/teaching.htm#EXAMPLES And another site with tips and more examples: http://sunconference.utep.edu/CETaL/resources/portfolios/samples.htm#education -Good Luck!
2. This is the site I used to make my last portfolio. http://www.teachnet.com/how-to/employment/portfolios/index.html I also included some sample pictures of my old classroom, a few sample lessons, a sample project sheet we created in my last job, my resume and transcripts, and a discipline management sheet. Just a heads up, many principals find portfolios very odd and many times don't like looking at them. Colleges like to push soon-to-be teachers to do them, but they become very cumbersome in an interview. Many would rather have a great resume i front of them and talk to you. You do not need a picture in the hard copy one as you will be there "selling" yourself in person. You may want to in the digital one that they can look at later as they review the possible applicants. Good luck!
3. I was looking for the book I used (was required to buy it in school) and came across this site: http://www.utexas.edu/academic/cte/teachfolio.html It looks really good. I would have used it. It even comes with a rubric so you know what at least the professors are looking for. This is the book I used, but it was a different edition: http://www.amazon.com/Portfolio-Teaching-Instructors-Professional-Resources/dp/0312419112/ref=sr_1_42?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231176444&sr=8-42 * * * * * Things you definitely need: *Philosophy of Education *Exemplary work *Evaluations from practica and student teaching *Materials from special classes you took (I took a special ed assessment class so I had a section of just assessments I learned to administer) I also included my Praxis scores, a copy of my license and resume (that I just put in a pocket in the front to give the administrator). You want your portfolio to be neat and professional-looking, but it also needs to reflect your personality. If you're a very bubbly person, don't make your portfolio somber and boring. That being said, one of the answerers above was right. Not everyone is going to necessarily want to look at your portfolio. I went to 3 interviews in 2 days and one person looked very closely, one just glanced, and one didn't even look at it. [EDIT] Oh, one more note. Make sure you dress for the job at the job fair (you want to be a teacher, so dress like the most professional teacher you've ever seen) and have plenty of copies of your resume available. Talk to your advisor about questions you'll possibly be asked so that you can be thinking about ways to answer them as well. When I was in college, we actually had a simulation. The school brought in administrators from around the areas to ask questions they'd ask potential employees. We would give answers and they'd evaluate our answers and give us tips.
