Train the Trainers event - University of York, April 29-30th
We were delighted to host our first 'train-the-trainer' workshop for our Practitioner Partners at York in April. The workshop explored facilitation tools, key CPD topics and identified approaches for engaging supervisors in professional development. Cascading and co-creating ideas in this way is part of the approach that RSVP is developing, to create benefit for whole sector. These events are part of our piloting approach and the feedback and evaluation from our participants is vital to refining materials before their release to the sector.
A huge thank you to our facilitators, Professor Gitte Wichmann-Hansen and Dr Mirjam Godskesen, internationally renowned educational developers who provided invaluable guidance, practical tools and insights into designing and running high-quality doctoral supervisor workshops.
We had wonderful feedback from our participants, including this extremely encouraging endorsement from Dr Liz Wren-Owens:
'It was an amazing event! I tried some of the tools and approaches with my supervisees in advance of rolling out the training in Cardiff, and they loved them!'
A heartfelt thank you to all workshop participants - your active participation, willingness to share experiences, and insightful reflections made it a success!
