Teaching Webinar: Inspiring Induction Practices
with Tony Davis
Session Overview
Are your tutors clear what an outstanding induction programme looks like? The journey towards it begins by firmly establishing how you would like your learners to be different by the end of the induction experience. What are the skills they need right at the start of the course to enable them to achieve well on their first assignments? What culture do you need to establish at the start of a programme such that all learners moderate their behaviour so that it’s in line with expectations?
This 3 hour online workshop develops delegates’ mindset and skillset to help them create a transformational induction experience. Using wiki functionality, delegates will actively contribute to the development of an Induction Quality Standard (the Intent) as well as generating new approaches to crafting an immersive induction experience (the Implementation). Both wikis will collate all delegates’ ideas and be available for download after the event.
Takeaways:
- An aspirational standard to create outstanding induction experiences for learners
- Clear ideas for improving first-week and first-month onboarding, so new starters know what to do, who to ask and how to get going.
- Practical ways to reduce confusion and improve consistency across teams, so induction feels more joined-up and professional.
Feedback:
"Waking up from a deep sleep. I feel inspired."
