Would you like to be a host?  Much of the training I provide takes the form of in-house staff training events - where programmes are designed specifically for the needs of a particular staff group or organisation. Some organisations invite colleagues, associates and even clients to attend (for a fee or for free - depending on the situation). This can help to spread costs as well as to spread the training effect. Do you have colleagues (in your organisation or personal network) who may benefit from training in reviewing skills?

Reviewing for All  An Open Workshop for Reviewers with Roger Greenaway An in-depth look at how to make connections between experiences and learning in ways that stimulate and support personal and social development. WHAT IS REVIEWING? Some common assumptions that will be challenged... "Reviewing is analysing mistakes." It can also involve unravelling puzzling experiences, reliving enjoyable ones, or investigating the causes of success. "Reviewing is all talk." Reviewing does not need to be 'all talk' - there are many other ways of communicating effectively. "Reviewing ends with looking ahead." Some benefits happen without the aid of a plan or action point. "What matters in reviewing, however formal or informal, routine or adventurous it might be, is that it actually helps people to learn from their experience." The quotes above are taken from 'Playback: A Guide to Reviewing Activities' by Roger Greenaway, the facilitator of this workshop. Material for this workshop will be drawn from this handbook, as well as from Roger's PhD thesis about management learning and development. Participants are welcome to bring their own reviewing resources/ideas. AIM To explore ways in which reviewing can maximise the value of learning through experience WHO SHOULD ATTEND People using (or training others in) active approaches to personal and social development, and anyone who wishes to develop their reviewing skills. Some experience of reviewing is required - but in any setting (indoors, outdoors, youth work or adult training). OBJECTIVES Following this event, you should be better able to: understand how reviewing can add to the value and enjoyment of your work use ideas and techniques that complement verbal reviewing deal with resistances to reviewing develop and promote effective reviewing practice in your own sphere of influence THE COURSE INVOLVES discussion of relevant theoretical models (handouts based on 'Playback') opportunities to take part in different styles of reviewing (verbal, active & creative) opportunities to learn from past experiences of reviewing (using suitable reviewing methods) mapping your future development as a 'reviewer' About Roger Greenaway

Designing Creative Reviews  a workshop with Roger Greenaway Rationale "Experiential Education is a process through which a learner constructs knowledge, skill, and value from direct experiences." This is the definition of "Experiential Education" approved by AEE (The Association for Experiential Education). It places the creativity of learners at the heart of the process. It also supports the presenter's belief that the reviewing of experience is a creative process - whether the review is an informal verbal one or an imaginative process inspired by the creative arts. This workshop actively explores how we can use reviewing to help learners to respond creatively and constructively to their experiences. Our chances of success increase if we are ourselves creative in how we go about this challenge. Aims This workshop will explore and develop reviewing skills for anyone who wishes to involve learners more fully and creatively in the reviewing of adventures and other experiences. Participants will gain the ability to use a more dynamic and versatile tool kit for reviewing experiences, as well as the creativity to adapt and develop methods to enhance their own practice. Content This workshop will include: Beyond brainstorming - practising creative thinking skills. Programme design - designing reviews before choosing or designing activities. Matching review methods with activities, exercises and objectives. Designing reviews based on situations identified by course participants. Putting designs to the test - old and new ideas will be tried, tested and improved. Method The two days should be involving, enjoyable, and creative and will be based on the principles of experience-based learning. There will be opportunities to try out ideas that are presented or developed in the course of the workshop. This core process will be supported by inputs, handouts, exercises and discussion.
