"Education happens when you have an experience and reflect on it. But you have to reflect on it" (Don Finkel). Download REFLECTION SHEET here. These sheets may be helpful to you as you track and reflect on your experiences in Awareness. You might use them; faculty may encourage individuals to use them. They are not required but they should be included in your portfolio if you complete any.
