Career change clarity & management workshop - More information to be confirmed

With Nicola Jones, Athena Professional, Dr Emily Henderson (Associate Professor Reader, Education Studies)

In this session, we will consider how to do something which most people find really difficult; giving feedback. Whether feedback is positive or challenging, what are the things that make it more likely to be well-received by your students? How do you actually say what needs to be said? And how do you sustain the supervisor-supervisee relationship once feedback has been delivered?

We will also discuss when and how to be facilitative. Is it always the right approach?

At the end of this session participants will have:

• • Discussed why feedback matters
  • Demonstrated use of a feedback model to:
    • • Endorse positive behaviour
      • Challenge behaviour
  • Considered when a facilitative approach is appropriate
  • Identified what a facilitative approach looks like

With GradTrain

The interview process can be the most daunting part of securing a job. Through skills-practice (old term 'role-play') led by two professional actors, this workshop allows students to try out ideas and approaches in a safe environment and with no consequences of not getting the job! Having the opportunity to see it in action takes the risk out of trying things out for the first time in the actual interview. You can make mistakes, celebrate your improvements and benefit from real-time feedback on the input you are giving our interviewee. Our trainers have in-depth experience in the interview process (from both sides of the fence) and will be able to ensure that you are more comfortable and prepared for when it comes to the real thing. Practice doesn't always make perfect, but it comes a close second!

With the IAS Team

This event will give our Fellows the opportunity to present a snapshot of their research to the IAS community. Each fellow will have 3 minutes and one slide to communicate their work in an ‘elevator pitch’ style presentation. Each session will be followed with questions to encourage innovative conversation, networking and potential collaboration between research disciplines. The audience will have the chance to vote for their favourite talk, with the winner of the Research Snapshot Event receiving a prize which will be awarded during the end-of-term social.
