Portfolio: Section Three

Tracking your attitudinal development

In this section of the portfolio you will reflect upon your experiences as they touch upon or inform the attitudinal elements of the educational leadership learning competencies. There may well be data from your learning journal, letters of reference from your contextualization site, and other pieces that will be useful here to illustrate particular competencies.

Those competencies are as follows:

2a inquires easily into, and responds openly to others’ ideas

2b easily and constructively surfaces and questions assumptions underlying ideas, feelings, and actions

2c comfortably uses their own experience to critique expert opinion and uses expert opinion to critique their own experience

2d nourishes personal curiosity about God’s activities in the world, and is able to wonder with awe at God’s activities

2e comfortably engages diversity with personal integrity

2f is deeply engaged in lifelong learning

You may find fertile ground for such reflection in any critical incident reports you’ve collected along the way, or any integrative/journal writing you’ve done. In particular, you might use Brookfield’s questions from pages 104-106 of his Chapter Five to help you to focus your reflections here.
