The LJ also gives wider learner to the learners KSB's and how this is implemented into the learners job role.

With regards to the scorecards it supports identifying gaps in the learners criteria that has to be met. From this we can work with the learners to set tasks to achieve the goals in order to meet the qualification.

The LJ entries can also be used for EPA as submitted entries to show evidence of the learning that has taken place over the period of the apprenticeship and also to show KSB that the learner is competent in their role.

Task

What did you do?

When did you do it?

This would be the learning that was carried out and when it took place and where this was carried out.

Reflect

What did you learn?

How will you use it?

The learning that has taken place that the learner has learnt and then can be implemented into their own role, to support their Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours and CPD.

Attach evidence

You can provide work documents as evidence to support their learning. This could also include witness statements, notes that the learner has made when attending workshops and webinars.

The learner can also upload a vocal recording of themselves reflecting their own practice, if this is their preferred way of documenting their work.

Criteria link

Selecting Knowledge, skills and behaviours is a way of showing your understanding and how these relate to your own practice.

This can be used as guidance towards your own scorecard.

Keeps up regularly

It is important to keep learning journals updated with any new learning that takes place. It helps you to keep refreshed and engaged and the communication links open.

Feelings: You will reflect on your thoughts and the different emotions you experienced during the experience. You may think about how you were feeling at the time and how you are feeling now.

Evaluation: You will then analyse the experience and identify what went well, what you could improve on next time. It is best to look at the positive and negatives.

Analysis: You may look further into the experience to find why things happened the way they did, looking for any connections or patterns.

Conclusion: You will then give a summary of what you have learnt from the experience. You may talk about the insights you have learnt about yourself, the situation and the actions that happened.

Action plan: You would then create a plan on for improvement and further learning. You may state what strategies you find you may want to use next time.

This model is based on three simple questions: What? So what? Now what? It is the most simplest model of reflection.

What?: This helps you describe the situation that you would like to learn from. You would identify the feelings you felt and facts from the event.

So what?: This stage is where you analyse the experience and identify any implications of what happened.

Now what?: This stage is where you would create an action plan on what you found based on your reflection and how you are going to put what you have learnt into practice.

Encourages teachers to reflect on their own experiences both as learners and as teachers and how those experiences shape their current teaching practices and beliefs students eye lens:

This lens prompts teachers to Consider their teaching from the prespective of their students examining how their actions and desicions are precieved and experienced by those they teach

Colleague experiences lens:

This lens encourages teachers to seek feedback and insights from colleagues recognising that different perspectives can offer valuable perspectives and teaching practises

Theoretical literature lens:

This lens involves engaging with scholar literature on teaching and learning to gain a broader understanding of educational theories and practises

Overview

• Concrete Experience (CE): feeling.

  When a learner has a new experience and is able to take part in learning this could be through puzzles and games to make the learning more concrete and enjoyable so that they have learnt something.

• Reflective Observation (RO): watching.

the learner reflects on the new experience in the light of their existing knowledge. Of particular importance are any inconsistencies between experience and understanding

• Abstract Conceptualization (AC): thinking.

reflection gives rise to a new idea, or a modification of an existing abstract concept (the person has learned from their experience).

• Active Experimentation (AE): doing.

the newly created or modified concepts give rise to experimentation. The learner applies their idea(s) to the world around them to see what happens.

Learn Amp- All the training we do and then we can reflect this into a learning journal of what we did, what we learnt and how this impacts our role.

Delivering webinars to learners- Improves practice, Knowledge and reflect on how it went and change anything that is needed.

Shadowing- This helps with understanding our role and how we can deliver to our learners.

Setting visits- Helps us to become organised and helps with time management.

Kindlerly learning- Complete modules and then add a learning journal as part of our CPD.

We worked well as a team to communicate to each other over 'Teams' while all having tasks to complete supporting each other whether it be researching or filling in the boxes on each task.
