NSRF/NY @ NYU

General Introduction
A reflective piece describing the process the presenter went through in compiling this portfolio. This section should include identification of those areas in which growth has taken place. The presenter should also take the opportunity to identify areas in need of additional work.

Reflections and Artifacts for each standard
For each of the 3 standards, the portfolio will include a 1-2 page reflective piece describing the facilitator’s work related to the specific standard. Every effort should be made to directly address the bullets within the standards.

The Reflective Piece
WHAT: What work did I do? Who was involved? What did I accomplish?

SO WHAT: What does this mean to me? What is significant? What did I learn? Why do I feel that I am ready to be considered an endorsed facilitator? (But please keep in mind that becoming an endorsed facilitator may be tantamount to getting a drivers license and just starting the serious business of learning to drive).

NOW WHAT: What are the implications for me? What’s next in my development? Where do I want to go from here?

Every section should also include 2-5 artifacts that demonstrate facilitator’s learning, growth, and application of skills over time. In cases where the evidence is voluminous (e.g. collected participant reactions) the presenter is urged to include a single sample and make reference to the larger body of work. Wherever appropriate, the presenter should include participant or co-facilitator feedback.

Some examples of artifacts: a draft and revised agenda, a customized protocol used in a workshop, a journal entry, participant reflection sheets, feedback from a peer observer/co-facilitator, work created by a group, facilitator notes taken during a meeting/workshop, notes which capture the thinking of a group, etc.
