I am really looking forward to attending the following "Mental Health FIrst Aid instructor training program" - starting early February. It seems it has been a long time in the planning and waiting but finally all the things are in place to start next week.
The legacy of our reserch project continues.
CPD continues
On a seperate note I attended a workshop that was postponed from before Christmas. The workshop looked at enabling learners to develop self management tools for life, college and work.
It has been a while since my last Blog - and this is just a mini up-date -
We have been revamping our promotional material and course information booklet - looking at courses ( those that have not had any take up and looking to replace them with some new ones to try and attrack learners )
We are trying to build our soical media presance and have taken to Twitter -
WOW - What a full on two days …….. I must say from my perspective, it was really useful meeting with all the other members from group A, as it now feels much more supportive and collaborative in what we do moving forward.
Then back to work to process everything – with a report on the event and information to cascade down to My Manager – up dates for the tutors delivering on the project – partners – Stakeholders Steering Group – Service Users Steering Group –
Year one has come to an end – I have attended two curriculum planning sessions in London – the first collaboratively working on curriculums, but not yet knowing which working group I would be in moving forward. I found it a really useful session and I was working in what would have been my preferred group for Phase 2!!.
HI I have taken inspiration from Michele (thank you) and following her lead, I have also created a Padlet page. I too am building information on my web page -
Next job stats for phase one....
It includes case studies, images of some learners work from some of the art sessions and some quotes from a range of classes all from phase one.
My aim is to be more proactive in capturing more of this type of feedback during phase 2
