A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY:
Facilitator's Guide to Reflection and Portfolio Development
This guide has been developed to support facilitators
as they lead learners through a process of thinking about
what they know and can do (reflection). Through involvement
in these activities, learners identify the knowledge,
skills, and attitudes they have developed, and create
evidence of their learning. These general activities are
intended to be adapted by facilitators to meet the needs
of any group.

Enhancement Funding Initiative.
The reports present a synopsis of 11 PLAR projects
undertaken at various post-secondary institutions; project
coordinators share their stories, challenges encountered,
and achievements. The reports include an executive summary
outlining lessons learned and best practices. The findings
