Metacognitive and Reflective Practice Portfolio

(proposal in development, 24 Feb 08)

Rationale & mechanics:

Portfolio = Narrative + Exhibits, which include each of the components from the required courses plus optional additions from any other course. The narrative may well weave in excerpts from the exhibits.
The portfolio should be updated each semester or two (depending on how quickly the student is moving through the program). With each update, additions would be made to the narrative. Sometimes, however, the previous narrative will superceded and the old version might become an exhibit to show the student's evolving process.

The portfolio could be assembled as an omnibus word file, as a narrative wikipage with links to uploaded exhibit files (either on a personal wikispace or on this CCT wikispace), or in other forms (e.g., Reflective Practitioners portfolio on a personal website).
