24 April 2024 (10:00 am – 12:00 pm) Live and Online with Lou Doyle
``Thank you… you are making such a difference to the sector!``
“Cannot wait to join another class.”
“It was a really informative session with lots of practical information sharing.”
Observations of practice can be a powerful tool to improve quality… When implemented well, with the right intent behind them,
Done badly observations add little value and can be perceived as a threat.
Let’s take a deep dive into observations of practice.
How can you make sure your observations of practice substantially improve CPD for your colleagues and benefit your learners?
How can we successfully bridge the relationship between quality assurance and practitioner development?
During this workshop, you will:
- Explore the different stages of a successful observation process
- Consider the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to observations
- Reflect on the knowledge and skills needed to effectively observe and be observed
- Critique examples of reporting on outcomes from observations
- Share experiences with colleagues from other organisations to help you to develop your plans and practice
The workshop is practical and in-depth. In-person attendance is essential to get the maximum value.
