The Professional Portfolio is intended to be a reflective professional development experience for you. You are encouraged to use and add to your Portfolio as you grow throughout your career.
Your Professional Portfolio Must Include:

The My CDA Professional Portfolio cover sheet found at the back of the CDA Competency Standards Book on page 131 (this cover sheet provides greater details on the specific order of portfolio components - use it as a checklist as you build your Portfolio to ensure that your completed Portfolio contains all the required contents).

|
The Summary of My CDA Education cover sheet followed by your certificates and letter of completion.
|
|
|
|
Six Reflective Statements of Competence, followed by the related Resource Collection items, as outlined on the My CDA Professional Portfolio cover sheet.
|
|
Your Professional Philosophy Statement, which summarizes your professional viewpoint and may take into account new ideas you learned during the building of your Portfolio.

This information is provided on page 11 of the CDA Competency Standards Book.
