Receiving the F&J Award Again in the Same Category

The following directions are presented to help streamline the process of submitting an F&J portfolio in a category in which you have previously received the award. This is an effort to support your reapplication process by allowing you to update and modify your previous portfolio in the same category using your more recent similar and new materials. In the categories of the Development of Enduring Educational Materials and Educational Research the materials must of necessity be new, although the same structure will be used.

  • Review carefully the information concerning Submitting a Mini-Portfolio, paying close attention to things that might have changed since your last submission. These may include but are not limited to:
    • Letter of transmittal with statement about duplicating effort
    • Matching to the standard (please note there are some updated and some new examples)
    • 2-4 page maximum for structured summary, depending upon category
    • 2 page maximum for personal statement
    • 25 page maximum for supporting materials (or 13 pages two sided)
    • Table of Appendices for all supporting material
    • Student evaluations are not to be included, but statistics about the evaluations and examples of free responses (comments) can be included
  • Review the materials you submitted originally:
    • Structured Summary
      • Update goals and objectives to reflect your current thinking
      • Update your personal preparation to include activities that you have been involved with since your last submission
      • Remove activities in which you no longer participate
      • Update the activities in which you continue to participate with dates since your last submission and indicate your current time commitments to these activities, detailing the time spent in each activity on average. (see examples)
      • Add any new activities and the time commitments that have begun since your last submission
      • In the categories of the Development of Enduring Educational Materials and Educational Research the materials must of necessity be new, although the same structure will be used.
      • Update supporting (Quality) documentation
    • Personal Statement
      • Update or rewrite your personal statement to reflect your current philosophy, goals, and growth as an educator. For a reapplication, it is extremely important to include descriptions of your growth and progress as an educational scholar since your last application.
      • In the categories of the Development of Enduring Educational Materials and Educational Research, where the materials must of necessity be new, discuss the development of your new directions.
    • Formatting
