Community Learning Development Resource Category 103
UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORTING LEARNER PROGRESS
AND PROGRESSION
SUMMARY
When people learn successfully they are making learning progress and if based on their success they move from learning experience to another (e.g., from one learning group to another or from one learning programme to another) this can be termed progression. Progress and progression issues and concerns within community learning work are explored here from the perspectives of learners and workers.
Below is the guide to the individual resource files within this category (103). In addition Learning Outcomes that capture the learning supported by this category of CLD resources, are identified.
