Learning Design

Research-informed, Practitioner-focused

At GCNZ, we believe that we act our way into learning rather than learn our way into acting. With this principle in mind, all of our courses have a strong emphasis on practice. This course will focus on deepening your you observe yourself in your practice, what you notice and how this enhances your coaching and the experience for your clients.

A Learning Design to Enable Praxis

When we are engaged in praxis we are reflecting in action – taking what we are learning and applying it in real-life situations. Our in-person and online courses enable praxis through a ‘coaching approach’ to facilitation combined with a range of thoughtfully designed adult learning experiences including:

  • individual and group reflection activities
  • co-operative learning tasks
  • practice opportunities using real workplace scenarios
  • modelling
  • observation and feedback
  • debrief sessions
