Reflective Teachers Special Interest Group: “Teaching to be a University Student: A Facilitated Journey” and “Problem Based Learning: Offline and E-learning”Dr Debbie Richards, from Computing, and Dr Ayshe Talay-Ongan, from the Institute of Early Childhood, will facilitate this session, the last for 2002. During this session Debbie and Ayshe will be talking about specific aspects of their teaching in which students are supported in developing skills that are both work-relevant and important for effective lifelong learning. This is achieved through the establishment of supportive, student-centred environments in which CIT plays a significant role. Both the benefits and challenges of each of the teaching and learning approaches will be considered.As this Reflective Teachers session is the final one for 2002, lunch will be provided. Date: Wednesday 30 October 1.00pm to 2.00pm
Selecting the Best: One-Day Selection Skills Training for Experienced PanellistsIn the Enterprise Agreement 2000-2003 it was established (Section 7.03.13) that all staff involved in selection procedures are required to participate in a 2-day training program, to be delivered by CPD. However, the EA also makes allowance for staff already highly skilled in undertaking selection proceedings, to attend a shortened version of the program. In Section 7.03.14, the EA states that staff who, in the opinion of the Vice Chancellor, have demonstrated a high level of expertise through their participation in selection processes, shall be required to attend a 1-day workshop.These workshops are open to both academic and general staff. They
will examine current best practice, identifying problematic issues and
common errors, and providing strategies and tools to ensure that selection
is effective, fair and legally defensible. The workshops will cover
both academic and general staff selection processes and will be practical
in focus.
Applications will be administered by the Director, CPD and approval given by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). Applications for attendance at the one-day program will close on Friday 25 October. Please forward your one-page application to Kim Richard by fax x9778 or email: kimberley.richard@mq.edu.au. Lunch will be provided. Date: Thursday 7 November
Managing Difficult PeopleHow much of our energy is taken up at work in coping with our interactions with people we find 'difficult' and 'uncommunicative'?Often we come away from such interactions feeling frustrated (sometimes angry), interpersonally de-skilled and tension-filled! Apart from the personal cost, it is often hard to stop the fallout from these relationships affecting the quality of the work of the unit or section as a whole. This workshop will offer you new insights and specific skills for dealing with such difficult relationships. We will not be offering magic cure-alls, but rather, solid interpersonal understandings and alternative road-tested strategies for those who genuinely wish to develop in this area. This workshop is suitable for both academic and general staff. Lunch will be provided. Date: Tuesday 12 November
