title: Developing a teaching portfolio in nursing education: a reflection.
abstract: Presenting teaching accomplishments through a portfolio promotes self-reflection and provides direction for improvement and advancement decisions. The authors examine experiences, insights, and reflections about their participation in a pilot project introducing teaching portfolios. Themes of taking stock, documenting practice, and reflecting emerge. Their experiences of completing teaching portfolios and personal growth as educators and colleagues are described.
