Professional Development for Formators – Checking your Understanding

Catholic Social Services Victoria is hosting a Formation Day for all Formators led by Checking for Understanding

It’s often challenging to find formation programs that provide opportunities for mission leaders and others who facilitate group learning to develop their own skills. People come to roles in formation for mission from a variety of pathways and may only develop their skills by diving into the actual practice of running programs. Having the ability to cultivate a deep understanding and learning for others is something that can be practiced and honed.

Checking for Understanding’s engaging program, led by Pip McIlroy, is designed to be inclusive, catering to formators from all adult learning contexts within the Catholic community as well as those that lead other training and facilitated learning experiences. Whether you’re a newcomer to leading adult learning or an experienced formator looking to challenge your own skills and practice, this event is for you. We believe that the diversity of our participants will enrich the learning experience for everyone.

The program will cover aspects of facilitation and training including:

• Structuring your session to meet your aims
• Engaging your group
• Modes of content delivery
• Giving and receiving feedback
