Working In The Environment

Introduction:

After now being part of a learning placement in a field where reflection back on your actions is important to see how you are working in the environment. One of the best ways to see how your progression is happening is to look at all of your actions objectively, taking in both the positive attributes of your work and the negatives. So that you can develop and work on your skills. An assessment of your work is the best way to find out what your doing well and what you may need to rethink and work on.
