Reviewing Train the Trainers May-June 2013
Background
We have now completed our first year of this programme in 2012-13. 32 people have been accredited on three different courses, two in London and one in Manchester.
We agreed to reflect on its successes and challenges through a review.
But one piece of advice I have received from more than one community member 'don’t judge too quickly – these things take time'. I agree but we can learn a lot already.
Our events are our showcase to the world. They need to be of high quality with competent and sympathetic trainers. Conversely badly run, boring sessions will alienate potential editors.
Aim of review
- To review the programme to date, its progress, its value and do a simple SWOT analysis.
Methods
- Questionnaire of participants
- Interview with providers, i.e. Midas and Andy Mabbett and Charles Matthews
- Data gathering
- Producing final report for discussion
- Using feedback from attendees directly from the training weekends (Gathered at time and from Survey Monkey poll).
Issues to particularly consider
- Accreditation and its purpose + methods
- How the courses work:
- How were the days for the participants
- Follow up / refresher days
- Learning materials to take away
- What did they learn
- Are they using these skills?
- The use of the VLE and its next steps
- How do we make it more accessible?
- Location of courses and the future
- Future potential
- How we are using the trained people
- Helping them initiate training -offering template options
- What support do they need?
Measuring the programme
- How many training days delivered?
- How many trainees kept editing
- How many edits did they make, how many pages created?
- How we support the newbies after their training
