Regional training activities planning discussion

Outline and objectives• Consider some questions and prompts• Discuss in regional groups and as the whole group• Consider

– the best way to implement pilot information training workshops that will be run on a regional basis

– The best way to work as regional teams and as a whole group

– The best way that Martha can assist you on the training

• Identify what further discussions and planning will be required to successfully plan delivery of pilot regional workshops.

Regional pilot workshops• Three regional pilot workshops (north, central

and south groups)• Practice information training workshop with

mentoring and support from Martha and regional master trainers team

• Opportunity and support to practice training and content skills

• Regional, institutional and whole group learning opportunity

Outcomes from pilot workshops

• All master trainers have practiced delivery of some training to end users– Real content, real training delivery

• Master trainer teams have worked together (as teams and between teams) on practical training activities

• Mentoring and support

• Prepared for institutional level training

But, how can we do this…?• Three day long or short half/full day regional

information training workshops on compendium content or just focusing on selected parts?

• Three different approaches (participants, format, duration, content area, etc.) or one shared approach in all regions?

• The role of Martha, regional master trainers, host institutions, etc.? What role do you want Martha to play?

• Hosting, dates, implementation responsibilities…?• What you would like finalised during workshop 3 in

this area?

In regional teams consider

• Consider the issues raised on the previous slide

• Record some notes in each area and nominate one person to report back

• Each group report back and then whole group discussion to identify agreed approaches and outcomes
