further features
the benefits of this programme are in extending your professional and personal competence — and one of the key features of the training is the quality of the learning experience in supporting such learning.
philosophy into practice
- The trainers will model the TA tenets such as OKness, autonomy and capacity to think, both in their design and delivery and in their response to learners’ curiosity and challenge
- Learners are encouraged to begin to think using the ‘maps’ that TA supplies so accessibly — and to use the peer learning group to support and clarify their thinking
providers
The key trainer Rosemary Napper is present throughout the monthly training to provide continuity and encourage connections between the modules plus the making of meaning by the learners. In addition there will be input from other trainers from different fields of application of TA — and opportunity for you to explore with them what further training might entail.
programme
By the end of this programme you will be able to think about yourself and situations readily, using TA concepts as a framework for considering and clarifying with hindsight — and to recognise how you could also use TA with foresight. Two or three key concepts from TA are explored in depth at each training session, illustrated with how these are applied in different fields of practice.
There are also further options for extending your learning:
- There are often optional workshops on applications of TA provided by a range of TA trainers and supervisors
- A Coaching qualification during the Autumn of 2011
- To ensure optimal learning the group size is limited to an absolute maximum of 12
- Participants need to already have the TA 101 — available internationally & in Oxford at the workshop and at Oxford University on Monday mornings during the autumn; or bespoke in-house in organisations, or pre-foundation by tutorial and written assignments
