Learners themselves bring assumptions about learning based on the past, and some of these may get in the way of looking ahead to a new way of learning. Employers, providers and learners themselves all need to know more. Initial assessment is a vital part of the process of finding out. A good initial assessment process is done early on – in the first few days or weeks of contact with learners. This is different from selection – though information gained through the selection process should be useful during the assessment.

This gives priority a new meaning because placing value on family and salary and certain things you want and need out of a job make a difference on what kind of job that maybe in mind. This creates an action plan in which requires a person to set limits to what needs to be given up for what job you want or want to work up too.

It is important when evaluating career variables because it helps me define my potential and where I want to spend my time working.

This learning outcome looks at how I might evaluate my own performance and how I might use feedback to inform me. It is important to think abut what I can do already and which areas I need to develop further. To do this I can ask for feedback from advisers or assessors.
Important of Reflections Reflecting on my own practice is important because it allows me to assess what i am doing well, identify areas where you might like or may need more training or guidance in to ensure am performing to the best and meeting all standards and expectations within the care setting. It also helps me to think about what I am doing in the setting and always be aware of how I am working with others. Reflecting on my work practice can enhance and improve my confidence and self-esteem because I can look at what I am doing well, the things I have learnt and achieved and feel good about myself especially if I have been able to do something with ease which I use to find it difficult to do in the past, if I have been able to do something that I have never tried it before. This then gives me confidence to continue to work well and aim to try new things or use what new skills or knowledge I have gained in my care practices. Reflecting on my activities can help me learn from other people’s strategies.
There is extensive research that details factors of effective training (K. Kraiger, n.d.). Measuring employee’s skill levels, and the type of training that they will need is an important factor that must be explored prior to addressing and ultimately closing and skill gaps that an employee might

Such decisions include a better and thorough understanding of the students´ particular learning styles, their affective needs, and their own personal goals to establish the right balance between teaching and learning. Another essential aspect I need to consider when planning or teaching a lesson is pacing, which again, was one of my biggest problems for this lesson. “Pacing is the extent to which a lesson maintains its momentum and communicates a sense of development. How much time to allocate to each part of the lesson is thus an important decision which teachers must make while planning or teaching a lesson.” (Jack C. Richards, 1997). Thus, I feel I should try the following changes in my teaching to achieve a proper pacing next time I teach a lesson: * Avoid repetitive activities (such as the ones mentioned in exercises 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 in Appendix 3); a variety of activities should be presented
