Portfolio reflective logs

[Rosieewles13]

Hello,

Just a question, is there a limit of reflective logs we can use as evidence in our portfolio? Some things are a bit tricky to physically evidence!

Thank you 🙂

HI Rosie

there is no official limit to using reflective logs but I over use them . There are other ways that you can provide written evidence such as case studies / critical reviews….
Also with reflective logs it is ‘ best practice’ to get a colleagues to counter sign in order to validate

Which sub standards are you thinking of?

I agree with Nicky. If you want to engage in critical review, now is a great time to do that with the current and Early Adopter Frameworks and corresponding Development Matters. This would cover a broad range of standards:

Leadership in terms of roll out and training
Subject knowledge and educational continuum – particularly in relation to the broader age bands and more mastery approach
Assessment – lack of emphasis on observation in new framework; wider age bands in DM; observation checkpoints in DM……

You could do a critical analysis of the framework/DM as a whole or take different elements and annotate with your views and possibly that of your colleagues + how it fits into the ethos of your setting and what sort of arrangements you will need to make to roll out.

That’s a very brief summary but hopefully you get the gist!!
