A CPD learning initiative can usefully be divided into several short sessions of an hour or two over a period of months so as to continue motivating and supporting people (rather than ‘giving them an aspirin’ in a single event). Earlier activities available from this pack, suggest initial ways to build a learning climate and motivate the group, but if there are breaks between events then you will need to revive this climate at the start of each subsequent event. People will have moved forwards (and sometimes backwards!) since the last event, so a review is a good way to rebuild the learning group. It will also define objectives for the event by identifying priorities from people’s successes and problems.
You introduce the training activity by reminding people of the overall layout of the CPD programme, and where the group currently is in that programme. In small syndicates, people share their experiences of CPD since the previous event and record these on OHTs: how we’ve moved forwards; factors that have got in our way; and decide what problems to tackle. These OHTs are shared in the plenary group, which prioritises the impeding factors and chooses two high-priority issues for each syndicate to address in the training activity: ‘Tackling the Issues’.
Who is it for: This training activity is intended for use by trainers to start a second or later module of a learning programme by celebrating people’s CPD successes since the previous module, and identifying what has impeded them so that they can work out how to keep moving forward.
