You have to develop the following portfolio contributions:

We expect participants to work continuously on their teaching projects and the learning material. They design such a project, look at which rhetorical elements can support the learning objectives, which assessment methods allow students to look at their learning process, consider which methods of (self-)evaluation can be used, which forms of examination are suitable and how students can be advised in the context of this course.
