First select the drop-down arrow next to “UTC EPortfolio.” Below this, you should then see two templates that can be chosen, “*edTPA Portfolio” and “*SOE TEP Portfolio.” Select the appropriate portfolio and then select the green button “create document” on the right side of the page near the bottom. (Please note: after creating this document, it will ask you to name the document. Leave the document title as they are but add your first and last name. Example: “SOE TEP Porfolio: Kaleb West”)

of instructions on basic functions of LiveText.- Google it. As future educators, there will be many times that you are required

to understand material that you may be unfamiliar with. Learning effective research skills is an essential part of becoming a highly effective educator.
