"What?''

"So what?''

"Now what?''

To use these questions, the student would:

• First summarize the artifact that documents the experience, in order to answer the question "What?'';
  
• Second, the student would reflect on what he or she learned and how this leads to meeting the standard, which answers the question "So what?'';
  
• And third, the student would address implications for future learning needed and set forth refinements or adaptations, in order to answer "Now what?''.
  

This is the stage that turns portfolio development into powerful professional development.
