Reviewing progress: why it's important

Reviewing progress completes the cycle of plan, implement, review that is essential to all effective adult learning. It helps learners to:

• see what distance they have travelled
• identify what they could do to build on strengths and overcome weaknesses
• consider new goals and intended learning outcomes and/or objectives; and
• develop a clearer sense of direction.

At the same time, it helps you work out how best to help learners move forward to another stage, another level, another course, or something different altogether such as paid or voluntary employment.
