Tutor Training Pre-Reading

Refresher

This half-day Tutor Training focuses on disseminating and sharing information on the various Sports Leaders UK leadership qualifications through two seminars running from 09:15 to 12:15, with registration and refreshments available from 08:45.

Who is the workshop for?

This workshop is only suitable for tutors who have attended a sports or dance leadership Tutor Training day previously, and who have experience of delivering leadership courses.

What are the aims of the seminars?

1 - Introduction and Sharing Good Practice
During this seminar you will look at the importance of sharing good practice that you have developed as a result of your experiences of teaching leadership qualifications.

Following this, delegates will be asked to share practical ideas from the games/activities that are used to teach leadership to your learners. Each delegate will be asked to think of one teaching idea that they have used to help deliver a particular aspect of their leadership course, and to then share it with the rest of the group. This provides great opportunity for everyone to have a go and join in, therefore sharing your best practice. A kitbag of general sports equipment (for example balls, bibs, blindfolds, bean bags and cones) will be available, but please bring with you any specific materials/equipment that you would like to use.

2 - Leadership Learning Communities, Teaching Values, Quality Assurance Update
We will highlight the benefits of you setting up, or being involved with, a Leadership Learning Community in your local area. This will equip you to share support and guidance with other tutors within your centre/local area, and create a network of people who continue to develop through learning collaboratively.

This seminar will also examine the values delivered during a leadership course, with focus on the Teaching Values Through Leadership resource.

Finally, there will be an opportunity to refresh and update your knowledge of the Quality Assurance requirements for the courses that you are delivering. We will have one of our Quality Assurance Officers (QAO) on hand to support this section and take any specific questions that you may have. If you are unsure who your local QAO is, please visit the What's Happening In Your Region pages.

What needs to be done before attending these sessions?

Please think of some examples that you might be willing to share with others that relate to either good or bad practice during your delivery experiences (we all learn from making mistakes, and young leaders often learn more from the bad examples than the good ones!).

You will need to come equipped with some of your best delivery ideas associated with the awards and qualifications, and be willing to share them amongst the group. For example games, group activities, discussion tasks. It is up to you what you would like to address - so bring your ideas and examples used so far.
