Stretch Challenge Yourself
Stretch Challenge Yourself
Learning to stretch our thinking skills is integral to accelerating our development. This is a really important part of the learning process, and gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your skills and show progression in your Apprenticeship.
Here are two challenges for you to pick from- should you choose to accept, this will help you to develop critical thinking, evaluation skills and encourage creativity.
Challenge 1
Choose one of the strategies found on this page or one of your own. Implement the strategy for two weeks and monitor your results. Complete an analysis of your productivity at the end of the period and evaluate the effectiveness of the chosen strategy. Reflect on what went well, what didn’t go so well, and what you will do differently going forward. Discuss your evaluation and your reflections with your talent coach at your next review.
Challenge 2
Choose a team process or activity completed regularly. Create a process flow chart for this activity, breaking down each section of work and time taken. Analyse the total use and time and identify at least one efficiency that will save time within the process. Discuss your recommendations with your Talent Coach, justifying your conclusion.
Update your Learning Journal in OneFile with your evaluation and your reflections ready to discuss with your Talent Coach at your next review.

Reflective practice is, in its simplest form, thinking about or reflecting on what you do. It’s a really important part of learning from experience.
Within your apprenticeship you will be encouraged to reflect throughout your programme, the reason for this is two-fold.
Regular reflection will accelerate your development and help you to identify areas to develop helping you to constantly move forward.
A summary or log of your reflections on your development will be required as part of your endpoint assessment activities. These reflections should demonstrate your ability to 'critically evaluate' your performance and development.
Reflection is a skill and practice will make it easier, it should also be an enjoyable experience and a chance to concentrate on what you need.
To support you to develop this skill we have gathered a range of resources and articles to help you find a reflective model that works for you.
