PD IMPROVEMENTS
• Research shows learning is linked to motivation, so we strive to keep our PD sessions engaging. We’ve introduced a new presenter proposal form to ensure that we offer quality, interactive sessions with active learning, and relevant, practical exercises. Presenters must outline the practical skills and knowledge participants will gain from each session, and what tools or supporting documents will be provided to help participants apply their learning afterwards. Our aim is to offer presenters who are subject-matter experts — and also effective at helping others learn. • Not sure what PD session is best for you? We’ve enhanced our session descriptions and presenter biographies, and added session categories and recommended audiences for easier navigation of information. Categories are linked to the session’s overall focus — communication skills, interpersonal skills, or technical knowledge, for example. • We’ve introduced a new e-evaluation form so Members can provide feedback after their sessions. They can provide recommendations for the presenter and suggest PD categories or topics for future sessions. • We’re giving Members-in-Training more learning opportunities by opening all PD sessions year-round to M.I.T. pricing. In line with learning principles, this allows M.I.T.s to choose the PD they want, when they want it. Other improvements we’re looking at include half-day sessions and webcasts. We know Members are busy people and can’t always get away from the office for a full day. Our vision is to make PD options more accessible while keeping them affordable.
