Yes!
Having returned from teaching in Asia to living in Devon, I have an interview date.
Thoughts bubble rapidly to my consciousness...thoughts of portfolios, interview questions, my choice of 20 minute teaching activity, my knowledge of current issues in teaching.
Here is Edge Hill's very helpful guide to interview questions: http://www.edgehill.ac.uk/careers/DownloadZone/materials_pdfs/CC_11.pdf
This is a good discussion of the pros and cons of portfolios, hosted by TES: http://community.tes.co.uk/forums/t/1083.aspx?PageIndex=1 (N.B. I think you need to be a member of TES to see this discussion...easy to do and it allows you to access lots of great resources)
Total teaching, gives advice for teachers seeking positions, including a detailed breakdown of the ideal contents of a portfolio. http://www.total-teaching.co.uk/promotioninteaching.shtml
It is interesting that it is still not current practice to use a blog as a portfolio of work. Maybe there is too much to usefully sift through within the time constraints of an interview. Maybe there is still a place for paper in the context of interview portfolios.
Prospects.ac gives a number of sites which provide relevant and up to date educational issues. Again, it is not rocket science but it was good to find these sources all in the same place.
