CMALT Contextual Statement Training
CMALT Contextual Statement Requirements
The contextual statement is the opening section of your CMALT portfolio. While it is not formally assessed, it helps assessors understand your professional context, motivations, and journey. A strong contextual statement should:
- Provide a concise biography, outlining your career path and current role(s).
- Describe your operational context – the environment and nature of your work.
- Explain your motivation for applying for CMALT, including how it fits with your professional development.
- Communicate your personal values and principles relevant to your work in learning technology.
- Set the tone for reflection and evidence that will appear in the rest of your portfolio.

- Expand on institutional or learner impact – how has your work changed things at scale?
- Lightly reference outputs or metrics to support key claims.
- Enhance reflective language – clearly describe how you improved your practice.
- Include a concrete future vision – specific ambitions or leadership intentions strengthen your statement.
