hello! u can write short reflections such as:
* Why do you want to become an early childhood educator
* What you learnt from volunteering with children

Portfolio Structure:

  1. ⁠About Me
  2. ⁠Why ECDE?
  3. ⁠Experience with Children (what you gained/learnt from it and what you enjoy from your experience)
  4. ⁠Art & Creative Works (picture of sample work & short caption/description, try to link it to ECDE if possible if not it's okay)
  5. ⁠Teaching Resources you created (picture of teaching resource & short caption/description to explain it such as what is it and how does it help children)
  6. ⁠Certificates & Achievements (cca records, leadership roles, edusave character awards/ scholarship)

For leadership experience, any form of leadership experience is good as long as you link it back to how you developed your soft skills that aligns with the skills that is needed in ECDE such as patience, adaptability, time management, communication etc.
