Ensure the integrity of the qualification.

Set open-ended discussion topics and problem solving challenges.

Use academic references / models and encourage critical thinking / reflection on their application within their own settings.

I do this by thinking about the cohort/learners and adjusting the content as necessary

I ask for engagement via Menti or Teams chat

Q1. Inclusivity - ensuring all learners can participate and take value

Q2: Ask your learners in 121s about their workshop preferences and needs

Strategy - holding learners to account for agreed house rules, cameras on, all contributing etc (while understanding some may have reasons for needing a different approach)

I do this by varying content to meet learning styles and using my knowledge of the learner's roles by mentioning specific examples / employer specific information throughout the workshop

2 - clearly managing expectations from the beginning.

Setting expectations early on, and consistency in approach.

Better outcomes for the learner and for Corndel.

Adapt content / discussion points for specific industries/roles.

Take account of learners' individual learning needs and preferences - variety of discussion types/ use of menti / use of chat/ balance use of test and images on screen

Strategy - relate examples to the organisations of the learners attending

In highly technical workshops, I ensure that people can choose whether to follow along technically or just watch so I can cater to both groups.

Strategy: Questions/check points

I do this by providing an agenda and the slides in advance and setting expectations around camera (if possible) and contributions

This is important to keep people interested and engaged

Strategy - discuss in 121s contributions and link to learning outcomes around communication and similar

I would usually aim to have a coaching discussion after the workshop in 121

Using this information to adapt session to needs e.g. breakout v group, content, emails sent out prior to session to reduce cognitive load.

I do this by discussing the workshops in the following 121s and asking for their take away thoughts and actions

Strategy: Breaks, variety, crowd control!

A strategy that can be applied is to set expectations via contracting at the start of the session.

Helps embed new learning.

Higher learner satisfaction.

Break out rooms;

variety of interactive menti tools;

Use Co-Pilot to design discussion tasks that are relevant to each industry;

make links back to module content for further study / consolidation

Getting people to explain certain concepts as we go through ensures it has made sense and provides a new way of saying it which can help support learning for others

Strategy - quizzes and follow up's after workshops in 121. So learners see them as integrated not separate

I do this by constantly checking understanding / asking for questions / answering queries and using various menti collaboration tools

Helpful to consolidate learning and prepare people for their EPA conversation.

Learning with and from one another is powerful learning.

I do this by helping learners to make connections and share experiences. Setting a tone for doing this confidently and compassionately.

Reduce the forgetting curve

Include a follow up in the next 121

A strategy that can be applied is to adapt examples, scenarios and activities to reflect the group’s real-world challenges or ask participants to share their own contexts.

Strategy - review workshop feedback and make subtle improvements

Check that pitch of the session is right for the group - implement necessary modifications in real time.

Mini-plenaries - what have you taken from this so far?

Regular opportunities for learners to ask questions.

Popping into breakout sessions, once they have started, to ensure all are clear of activity and strong voices are not dominating conversations. Encouraging those who have not yet shared their thoughts.

A strategy that can be applied is to invite engagement via different methods such as discussions, case studies, role plays or problem-solving exercises to keep everyone involved.

I do this by using a variety of interactive menti tools, group discussion and breakout rooms. I ask for feedback and clarification of breakout discussion to be shared with the group. I incorporate breaks throughout, as required. I ask for various types of engagement to suit all learners

I do this by using careful questioning, building on my knowledge of learners/cohorts

A strategy that can be applied is to use quick polls, Q&A sessions or short reflective activities during the workshop to check in on progress and adapt delivery.

Connect all aspects of the session together with a task / discussion
