The Circle of Learning

Learning Activities	Levels 1 and/or 2 Learning Outcomes Demonstrated During the Learning Activities
Job shadowing: Some staff members have expressed interest in becoming business managers in the future. The manager has agreed to allow job shadowing for those employees. Each employee will negotiate with the manager how often the shadowing occurs and over what time period. As part of the process, the shadowing employees will be expected to help fill out office forms, check the accuracy of financial forms, help to write reports, and lead staff meetings. Some of the employees who want to become managers presently have limited reading, writing, and numeracy skills. The manager will seek out volunteer tutoring services for these employees. At the end of the job shadowing process, the manager wants all of the shadowing employees to run a booth at career fairs in the local high schools and colleges. They may also do short presentations in classrooms on career days. The booths and presentations will demonstrate their readiness for leadership, and could help them achieve a promotion to assistant manager in the future.
