Background
CMALT accreditation lasts three years, and following this timeframe, you are asked to renew it via an updated ePortfolio. I had become aware that ALT had since developed a Senior CMALT accreditation stream (SCMALT), and remembering one of my previous assessors recommending I go for Senior, I decided to give that a go. While the update to attempt to renew your CMALT requires a certain amount of effort and time, there are extra sections required for SCMALT consideration (you can find the various requirements on ALT's application guidelines - I read this document several times!). Reflecting on my experience of both submissions, probably the most difficult thing about working towards something like this, was actually just getting started. I found that once I had identified my areas of focus for each section and designed a way to describe/evidence/reflect them in the ePortfolio, things became much easier. How I updated my previous CMALT ePortfolio for the SCMALT application
Finally, I also revised my Future Priorities section, one that provides some light on the path ahead. It's a section worthy of inclusion as you get to consider future directions and areas you want to focus on. Of course, paths can change along the way but I know the three areas I listed in my 2018 submission were always close to my ongoing work in recent years.
