Peer Learning Circles™ combine professional supervision with a peer support environment. The circles significantly increase participants’ skills and personal awareness. They comprise small groups, carefully chosen to ensure compatible skill levels and fields of work.

The Managers Learning Circle for people with direct responsibility for managing staff.

Glen has been offering one on one supervision/coaching for Managers for many years. The PLCs have been an addition to the array of training opportunities provided for managers around collaborative management practices. Glen also facilitates a number of PLCs for managers in particular organisations.

Benefits
These circles significantly increase participant’s skills and reduce manager isolation. Each circle consists of a small group which is chosen to ensure compatible skill levels and fields of work. All individuals have practice, support and feedback opportunities. Specific training input is negotiated with the group for particular sessions.

Focus of Support
These groups incorporate learning modules as required, but the main focus is clearly on individual’s work practices. To that end, a variety of techniques (including socio-drama) are utilised to bring out the learning embedded in challenging situations. This is done using real work place situations in a way that benefits all participants in the circle.

Each individual has intense practice, support and feedback opportunities. Additional content input will be negotiated around the particular group’s needs.
