Reflective Teachers Special Interest Group – Teaching International Students: What are our Institutional and Personal Responsibilities?The 2003 Reflective Teachers season kicks off with a discussion topic that is relevant and important to all who teach and work at Macquarie.

In this session, reflective teachers will have the opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities this trend provides, for individuals, Departments and the institution as a whole. The facilitators for the session will provide insights from the perspective of students, teachers, the union and student support units, in order to inform the group’s discussion.All interested staff are invited to attend. Bring your lunch and look forward to participating in a rigorous discussion, that aims to be the first of a series of critically reflective sessions aimed at moving the discourse of internationalisation to the wider University community.

“Making Work Work for Me and Others” – Introductory Session
The participants in the 2002 program strongly agreed that this program added value to their working life. After a short introductory information session on 12 March, those who choose to participate in the 10-session program will be working on the following broad topics: 1. Communication: All we do at work is driven by our skill of effectively communicating what we think, observe, feel and want. We will work on enhancing those skills through very practical exercises and feedback. 2. Customer service: Who are our customers? Serving them with excellence is important to Macquarie and to each of us. Why is that? You will get a chance to practise enhanced customer service skills and attitudes. 3. Myself and Others: Why do we and others do what we do? How can we use insights into ourselves to work more effectively and feel more satisfied with what we do? This module will teach you how to manage yourself effectively and how to influence your supervisor, manager and colleagues in a positive way. 4. Working in a team: Some teams work really well, others don’t. Why is that? We will look at and experience the influence individuals and their styles have on the team, and how you can best capitalise on those. 5. Making it real: This session provides support in achieving goals and in putting the learnings of the program into action. It is possible to enrol into individual modules, but preference is given to staff who choose to attend the full program. A certificate of completion will be given to those staff who attend at least 8 out of 10 sessions. Registration forms are available from CPD, x9721.
