Professional portfolio and workplace project

Core module: 30 credits NQF level 7

Purpose:
This module provides a record of evidence of growing applied
competence across the programme in an integrated way: it is the
glue that binds the whole together.

In the course of their engagement with this introductory and over-
arching module, student-principals will develop a portfolio of
evidence that will run throughout and across the programme and
provide a tool for their professional refection and development
throughout their subsequent careers. The portfolio will begin by
asking them to reflect on the meaning for them of being a leader of a
South African school.

Central to the portfolio will be a workplace project that will provide
evidence, in an integrated way, of candidates’ ability to undertake
evidence-based inquiry, making appropriate use of data and ICT,
make evidence-based decisions, implement changed practices as a
result of these decisions, evaluate the impact thereof and make
changes or amendments as indicated by the findings through an
action-research cycle. This module therefore requires the
development of appropriate high-level academic literacy skills. The
portfolio and project will provide evidence of commitment and ability
to shape the direction and development of the school. Therefore, this
module will also address the following: E Professional portfolio and workplace project - Part 1
