Help with Portfolio for National Certification (LONG)

[Cindy Lafferty <clafferty@TCHS.US>]

Dear LM-Netters,
  I am begining to look at the requirements for
National Certification. I can see where an elementary
teacher would be able to tape lessons and submit
lesson plans but what about those of us in High
School?
    In my (limited) experience, the teachers are
ceating the lessons. At most I help kids navigate the
book stacks.
   On a rare occasion I have done some research for a
teacher and maybe a brief overview on evaluating web
sites.
   My main role this year has been as a study Hall
proctor. I am hoping that I can present a convincing
case to my principal that I am being underutilized by
showing him the portfolio requirements.
   Question: What lessons did you video tape to
include in your portfolio for National Certification?
What types of projects did you submit as examples of
student work?
   What kinds of collaborations did you have and how
did you convince teachers it was important?

How can I convince my Principal that I am more than a
Study Hall Proctor?!
