Reflection Planning Tool A. Self-Reflection and Discovery

1. In planning your upcoming CPL portfolio year, consider and record your potential professional learning priorities,
interests, and needs.

For inspiration, consider some of the following:
 your role and responsibilities daily practice
 experiences and opportunities
 challenges, concerns, or questions
 changes in the sector or in your work
 leadership development
 legislation, policy and research
 College advisories and guidelines
“RECEs are reflective and intentional professionals who engage in
ongoing learning. They engage in critical reflection, collaborative
inquiry and demonstrate their commitment to ongoing learning by
engaging in the Continuous Professional Learning program.”
(Standard IV: A, C.1)

My potential professional learning priorities are:
Maintaining an effective collaboration with students, colleagues, parents, and the community. I am planning to participate
in volunteer work, where I will become more knowledgeable about my career, and take interest in all given opportunities
that will help to build my profession.
There are concerns like job burn out and the arising of conflict, but if dealt with professionally and confidentially, and
immediately, can help to bring about that change. As an educator I have learned over the years to accept any changes
that comes within the sector or in my work. Therefore, having that leadership skill is key, and preparing myself to lead from
the top, can make that positive mentor and educator in the learning environment. It is only by abiding to legislation, policy

and research that can bring about that meaningful change in the learning environment, with the guidelines given by our
supportive college advisories.

4. Based on your reflections above, identify one topic to prioritize for this year’s CPL Portfolio.

Some questions to guide your decision-making:

I would like to focus on enhancing knowledge and skills, that has benefit me significantly in my current learning on
becoming a RECE, and hopefully my future practice. It will help me to become more knowledgeable of things that must be
in place, and should remain in place, for the development of children’s learning, and the experiences gain from having
effective communication with parents and the community.
