Peer Coaching Circle
A structured peer learning format where a small group of practitioners support each other's professional development through structured consultation rounds. One person brings a real challenge (the 'client'), others take the role of consultants. Based on the Payette and Champagne co-development model, it develops reflective practice and collective intelligence simultaneously.
Come eseguirlo
- 1
One participant presents their real professional challenge (5–7 minutes).
- 2
Consultants ask clarifying questions to understand the situation more deeply (5–7 minutes).
- 3
The presenter defines what kind of help they want: 'My question for the group is…'
- 4
Consultants discuss the challenge among themselves while the presenter listens and takes notes (15–20 minutes). The presenter does NOT respond during this time.
- 5
The presenter shares what was useful, what resonated, what they will take away (5 minutes).
- 6
Brief group debrief: what did we learn from this case that applies to our own work?
- 7
Rotate to a new presenter if time allows.
Suggerimenti
The silence of the presenter during the consultant discussion is the most important and most violated rule.
When the presenter is not allowed to defend or correct, they hear things they would otherwise have deflected.
Hold this boundary firmly.
Variazioni
Run a lighter version: '15-minute peer coaching' using the GROW model in pairs. Scale up to communities of practice using rotating triads.
