Program Description
The Learning Coach curriculum was developed through the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) using a learner-centered, performance-based approach. The curriculum focuses on outcomes - the learner's ability to use what they learn in this course in their current position by applying learning tools and educational theories. During the traditional format of The Learning Coach course, learners take part in live classroom events and complete a teach back. Learners complete a self-assessment to identify their current level of skill and create a learning development plan for themselves. Throughout the course they will learn about new roles Learning Coaches are playing in their organizations' success and gain new or updated ideas and skills for facilitating others' learning.
Targeted Audience
This course is intended primarily for Certified Officers who provide training and facilitation for a department or facility in the capacity of Field Training Officer, Team Leader, Performance Coach, Adjunct Trainer, Supervisor or Manager. Additionally, we would also welcome those who wish to serve in that role in the future and would like to attend to prepare themselves for that career goal. If you are a person within your workplace that provides training or OJT then this course is intended for YOU!
