Everything
you do
now ends up in
your permanent
record. The best
plan is to overload
Google with a
long tail of good
stuff and to always
act as if you’re on
Candid Camera,
because you are.

HANDOUT AND RUBRIC
Reflect
Reflection is a lifelong process. It helps you look at
what you have done, analyze your results, measure
your successes and adjust your conduct in the future.
You did this naturally when you were a small child
discovering how the world worked.
Reflect part allows you to ask yourself questions
about the learning connected to the portfolio item.
For example:
What have I learned?
What have I noticed
What would I do differently?
What strengths and weaknesses are shown in this item?
How does what I am doing affect my future choices?
Reflection continued
For
most items included
in your portfolio you will
need to provide a
reflection/justification.
Why did you include it?
Why is it important?
What did you learn?
How to create your own
sheets?
