Dear All,
The ALDinHE Professional Development working group invites you to join a Task and Finish group....
This is a new collaborative venture to capture the expertise of the LD community to share amongst us in order to enhance our professional development.
We are hoping to get a number of groups started to develop training / self-access resources to aid our professional development in different targetted areas.
The groups would form around a particular area of interest (see list attached), decide on a professional development resource to create collaboratively, then meet online and / or in person to develop this shareable resource. The PD working group is available to provide support, and there is also a small pot of money from ALDinHE to fund face-to-face meetings. The resources created could then be shared through the ALDinHE network, embedded in existing training programmes, or completed individually. It is hoped the resources would eventually build into a CPD course or adaptable bank of CPD resources. [For more information please see the attached list of areas and an outline of the aims and purpose of the groups]
We are planning to hold an initial meeting of people interested in joining Task and Finish groups at the ALDinHE conference in Belfast during the Wed lunchtime. Don't worry if you aren't going to be at the conference - you won't miss out, as there will be follow-up meetings online and we will be able to put people in touch with others interested in their chosen area.
This is a great chance to enhance your own personal development through the opportunity to network with peers and participate in collaborative projects to develop resources, plus support the continued professional development of the Learning Development community as a whole.
So if you would be interested in joining a group, please email me to let me know:
1) Which area (see list attached) you are most interested in
and
2) If you are be able to come to the initial meeting during the ALDinHE Belfast conference
Best wishes
Michelle
