Outcomes, Topics and Methods

Each workshop is carefully designed to produce the necessary outcomes for participants to perform the focus of the particular workshop in a high-quality manner -- whether that is facilitating a highly customized Action Learning process or establishing a high-quality program. Topics are selected to accomplish the outcomes for each learner, and can be customized according to the nature and needs of participants.

Workshop methods include a variety of strategies for learning, including pre-readings, videos, short lectures, much time for Q&A, experience and participation in Action Learning groups, reflection exercises, peer discussions and coaching, instructor and peer feedback, practice in and out of the workshops, Individual Development Plans with goals to further develop learning, and Learning Journals to document new knowledge, skills and abilities.

Each course is led by a master Action Learning coach and facilitator with decades of experience in teaching and facilitating Action Learning. Workshops can be taught virtually or in-person, depending on the nature and needs of participants.

Certificates

Each participant receives a certificate from Action Learning Source upon completing each workshop, including:

Paying the fee for the workshop
Attending all sessions whether virtual or face-to-face
Actively participating in each of the sessions, including responding to questions and sharing questions
Facilitating during the experiential portions of the sessions
Sharing feedback with the other learners during the sessions
Responding to the feedback from the instructors

NOTE: There is no independent "certification" organization in the field of Action Learning, for example, like the independent International Coach Federation is for the profession of personal and professional coaching. "Independent" means that the certification organization does not concurrently promote and provide certification on its own particular model of Action Learning, while suggesting that it concurrently is the certification organization of other and different models.

Continuing Education Units

Various workshops from Action Learning Source are approved by George Mason University's Office of Continuing Professional Education (OCPE) for Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Some workshops also are approved by the International Coach Federation for Continuing Coach Education Units (CCEUs). See Continuing Education Units.
