"We implemented your student generated model of induction at our September 2014 inductions and our generic feedback scores rose from around 3.2/5 to 4.6/5. Pretty impressive!!!”
[Deputy Dean Learning & Teaching, Principal Fellow HEA]


Hi Everyone,
Some of you may be interested in this event taking place in London next month.

This experiential staff development workshop is called "Student-Generated Induction: A Social Identity Approach" and it takes place at Woburn House Conference Centre, London on Thursday May 28th 2015.

This social and participative approach to induction may be of interest to those concerned with improving student retention. This innovative practice is based on a peer-to-peer relationship and provides a strong fit with modern concepts such as 'Student-As-Producer' and 'Student-As-Partner.'

The workshop will provide new group-level theory and practice for student induction. This has been developed from doctoral research at University of Glasgow. Participants will have the opportunity to experience this approach already in use in different universities. Participants will also use this scalable model to share and discuss aspects of their current practice.

This event has proved very popular in recent times providing a useful forum for reflection amongst academics, support & information professionals. If you would like to book a place, you are welcome to use the attached booking form and to be invoiced later. Alternatively, further details of the workshop and how to book online via Eventbrite at: http://bit.ly/1Dd8yU2

Best Wishes,
Nick
