                                 1.2    Being professional


                                 As professional person, you must prove through your portfolio that
                                 can work independently, that your actions are guided by the code of
                                 ethics of your profession embodied in the South African Council for
                                 Educators.






                                 1.3  The portfolio


                                 Preparing a professional reflective portfolio of evidence to prove
                                 competence as professional leader in education thus implies that
                                 your portfolio is NOT a mere lever arch file with a collection of
                                 papers, documents or examples! It is MOST important that the
                                 portfolio speaks loudly on your behalf using the evidence included to
                                 prove your competence as education leader/manager. The South
                                 African Council of Educators (SACE, 2003) suggests the following
                                 eight-step process of developing and maintaining a portfolio of
                                 evidence of professional competence:
