Prior Learning And Future Learning
In this essay, I will reflect upon two skills and identify how they have evolved through prior learning and current learning. Also, viewing past experiences from these skills to find further improvements that will aid future learning. The two skills that I will reflect upon are; communication and organisation & planning.

Communication skills are important throughout life, therefore there should be relentless focus on these skills in primary teaching. In the CBI Education and Skills Survey (2012 pg. 24) it mentions ‘employers also believe it is important for children to start developing effective communication skills that are essential later in personal and working
