REFLECTIVE PORTFOLIO PAPER

Developing reflective skill is one way to foster a spirit of questioning regarding the value of certain practices and assumptions seen in the field.  This is a critical part of developing a personal identity.

The Reflective Portfolio Paper is one of the culminating activities of the IUS Educational Leadership Program.  The paper is to be typed/word processed, double spaced, and should not exceed 10 pages in length. Reflect upon the IPSB/ISLLC/IUS Standards as you focus on what leadership and being a principal is all about.  The paper should portray a worthwhile contribution to the Educational Leadership knowledge base representing current research and best practice.  The following guiding questions should assist you with this personal reflection paper by serving as reflective thought starters.  Remember that a reflection is not an exercise in answering questions.
