What is a learning contract? • A formal document that sets out the commitment by the learner to work towards achieving a specified learning goal or objective. It also focuses on how the learning may be achieved. • It’s a proactive approach to learning and helps with the implementation of a development plan as the contract is agreed with the line manager, coach or mentor.
Learning Contract • An overall development goal • Specific objectives in terms of skill or knowledge • Activities to be undertaken to achieve the objectives • Resources required • Methods of assessment of learning
REVIEW • CONSIDER A RECENT EXPERIENCE, GOOD OR BAD, PLANNED OR UNPLANNED THAT YOU HAD DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS • WHAT CONCLUSIONS CAN YOU DRAW FROM THIS? WHAT LESSONS WERE LEARNED? • HOW WOULD YOU PLAN TO DO SOMETHING BETTER OR DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME IN THE LIGHT OF THIS CONCLUSION?
