Opening Session Day 2

If money time and energy was put in to work where would you like it to go? Is there any sense of where we want to put our focus... Choose one of the following:

• Mentoring
• Trial & Error
• Volunteering
• Workshops
• Learning from Others
• Online

Not allowed to be in between as we are all in between in reality.

• Greatest proportion in workshops - human support, hit more people at once, formal, strucutred, peer to peer learing, interaction.
• Learning from others - need focus, lots of knwledge to hare, one to one dialogue, drill down, expeirence, not re-inventing the wheel, when needed.
• Mentoring: timely and specific, personal, happen in a number of ways, can belongterm, can be collaborative, exchange, been through all the other stages first, personal learning styles, ongoing
• Online: you can do all the other thingsonline, instantaneous, suits particular learning styles
• Trial and error: minority group - original competent, practical work where you can face up to the realities of your own work.

Now pick your second choice priority, reposition group:Anyone want to add anything?

• Workshops: can be about standards
• Mentoring: relaxed, informal - can do it in the pub
• Online: research possible
• Webinars: mentoring gives spport - between workshops and online and been really useful
• Trial and error: able to make mistakes and learn from them and not be scared of them, valuaing trial and error is a balance towards accountability.

Take that question into the workshops and think about it through the day.
