Practitioner's Portfolio

Peter J. Taylor
Program in Critical & Creative Thinking
University of Massachusetts, Boston

Current web version of Portfolio originally prepared for Promotion review in September 2001 with a major update Aug. 05.
Please excuse lack of links for some of the material in the hard copy version and please notify me if you find glitches.

[See also Update statements:

The full version of this Practitioner's Portfolio consists of seven binders.

I welcome dialogue around the different components of the Portfolio to help readers appreciate work in areas or directions unfamilar to them. Preparing a Portfolio also corresponds to my view that formal reviews should attend to process as well as product. That is, for reviewers to be confident in continued effectiveness of a colleague, they should have evidence of the faculty member's on-going process of assessment and development of research, teaching, and responding to institutional challenges, and of cross-fertilization between those three aspects of a scholar's work.

From Critical Thinking to Reflective Practice About Environmental and Health Sciences in Their Social Context

This statement can stand alone as a summary of my recent work and future plans, but is better read with reference to the full Practitioner's Portfolio. Notes in the statement refer readers to associated websites and to publications and presentations, given in full in my curriculum vitae. Other items can be located using the search box.
