1. Learning outcomes poster
Overview of poster
This poster is designed to show what learning outcome outcomes I have decided to choose for my 120 hours work based learning. Learning outcomes are used to help identify appreciate and apply to a particular goal according
to Skills for learning (2010). I am going to use learning outcomes in my work based learning to be able to meet my goals of the work based learning experience. John Cowan (2009) suggests that learners are unlikely to make
really progress towards achieving real outcomes which they value, if they don’t have their intended outcomes in mind.
My learning outcomes have been written according to the information that I have collected in numerous different diagnostic exercises that I have done in the PDP and planning for work based learning modules. Through doing
these modules I have come up with the learning outcomes that I would like to achieve when completing my work experience placement.
The learning outcomes I have chosen have been split into three category headings Career, Academic and Personal. All these learning outcomes are also backed up in the learning outcomes matrix.

Planning and professionalism
In the planning I have taken part in all the seminars and lectures to get the most out of the time on this module. I have been doing coaching to help with my learning outcomes. It found this helpful to be able to do the coaching because I helped clarify what I
wanted to get form the learning outcomes. I also helped to coach This is the link to the coaching I have done http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/home.php?sk=group_208634495822658&ap=1
I have also been looking at different places where I could do my work placement. I have looked at various different places to do my work placement such as David Lloyd, Virgin Active and Redseven. To see the information I have got on my application to the
different work placements go to the work placement opportunities page.
