My College for education, you need artifacts, they fit into certain categories or standards that you need to show you meet. Some of them are easier than other, most deal with creating lesson plans and group projects. These artifacts are used, these are something you should keep with you on both your computer and an external drive as well as, if your university has a website for you to submit, as soon as you get the paper back put it up. It would be better to do that earlier because if you do lose it, it is already up, and when you go to student teach, you won't have to spend a lot of time trying to find them all and posting them. With these artifacts you would need a certain grade on your work, usually around a c. If you don't get that grade you may end up having to take that class again. Some teachers may not give you your paper back so keeping a name of the teacher and emailing them would be best. If that doesn't work keep a record and go to your advisers, to see what you can do about that, they use want you to keep a record and go to the head of the teaching department.
