Dear Seda, Could you please distribute this which I think 
will be of interest?
Thanks

Here are details of an unusual workshop offering an 
opportunity to work in a participative and experiential way 
on the relation between teaching and learning, learners and 
teachers. Academics have followed this  course in the 
past years and have found it very beneficial. 
=========

Teaching and Learning in Organisations
Managing Roles and Relations in Learning Contexts
Thursday 3 - Saturday 5 February 2000

Who the Course is for ...

Those who manage and lead organisations where learning is 
important for staff - senior executives, heads and 
principals, inspectors and advisers, trainers, those with 
team management responsibilities, as well as those with 
direct responsibility for teaching and training in 
organisations. Recent members have come from the UK, 
Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Sweden and Norway. 

How the Course works ... 

This is an experiential Course. Three 
interacting events create the process of the Course. One 
creates opportunities to learn by exploring behaviour in a 
small group as it happens; one examines the way different 
assumptions about teaching and learning interact and affect 
behaviour; the third draws on the first two events to work 
in depth on live case studies of teaching and learning 
brought to the Course by members. 

Why the Course is important now ... 

Organisational change is effective when 
those who work in institutions can learn, can learn fast, 
and can pass on what has been learned to others. Effective 
learning has always involved a teaching function, even when 
that has not been formally identified. Taking the role of 
manager involves 'teaching' staff about new policies, new 
legislation, new skills and new knowledge, as well as 
simply how to do existing jobs better. The traditional 
models of the roles of 'teacher' and 'learner' need to be 
added to and extended. More collaborative patterns are 
relevant, and issues of power and authority have to be 
analysed more carefully. 

Comments from last year's participants ... 

§ I have developed hugely as a learner and 
effective consultant  (Development Consultant) 

§ A great deal of learning occurred for me in a short period of time: 
I now work differently with my MBA group on OD and Change 
(Business School Lecturer) 

§ I am more sensitive that what I say is not what people hear and, in
order to be effective, I now take time to reflect on what people do hear
