What do we mean by Progress & Success?

It is really important to recognise that depending on the who you and your learners are progress and success will look different - 

• For some progress will be about completing courses online relatively independently, completing activities and gaining digital badges and / or statements of participation. Some of your learners may move on to some of the future pathways described in the earlier section. 

• For others being able to access one course with support and make it some way through some of the materials is both progress and success because this is happening in the context of challenging circumstances and fluctuating priorities

Therefore its key when setting joint goals and reviewing progress that as much as possible learners have some ownership and feel that goals in whatever form they come are achievable with some milestones. Milestones could include:

• Completion of 1 section of a module
• Completing an online activity for the first time
• Completing a course and earning a Digital Badge
• Adding a new skills, experience or achievement to a CV
• Becoming more confident
• Developing new relationships if the learning is taking place in a new setting

This is not an exhaustive list but hopefully reassures you that as Champions it' not all about course completion and moving on to a defined next step - learner journeys are complex and of varying lengths. 

And we hope that you have many opportunities to celebrate moments of success with your learners!!
