The book includes an extensively tested step-by-step approach to creating portfolios and lists 21 possible portfolio items covering teaching, research/scholarship, and service from which faculty can choose the ones most relevant to them.

It includes a research-based rubric grounded in input from 200 faculty members and department chairs from across disciplines and institutions.
It examines specific guiding questions to consider when preparing every subsection of the portfolio.
It presents 18 portfolio models from 16 different academic disciplines.
Designed for faculty members, department chairs, deans, and members of promotion and tenure committees, all of whom are essential partners in developing successful academic portfolio programs, the book will also be useful to graduate students, especially those planning careers as faculty members.
