Progressing nicely

I have just had a meeting with Gil, and I really feel buoyed up by it. She gave me some excellent advice on how to proceed with my personal reflective statement and was so encouraging about the evidence I had collected that she has really spurred me on. She even thinks I should be ready to submit by April/May next year. Our next meeting will be in December where I will (hopefully) have a rough example of my portfolio. It seems incredible that it's all coming together.

Reflective wrting

One of the most challenging tasks of the Chartership process is the Relective writing essay. 1000 words on our various job roles, how we have improved in these areas, and why. The urge is to simply write out a list of taks we do, and how we do them, but this exercise needs to be more introsoective. We need to look at the tasks noted down in our PPDP plan, what training and devleopment we think we need in these areas, why, what benefits could come about this additional training and when it should take place. It's tricky and from what I can gather from the other Chartershuip candidates, the one taks everyone dreads the most!
