This is indicative of my programme for 2013-14. However, I am always pleased for clients to pick and mix from the menu below, and happy to design particular day or half-day sessions tailored to specific requirements. 

Much fuller details of the workshops in the list below are included in my ‘workshop prospectus’ which can be downloaded here. Workshops Prospectus 2013-14 (1475). However, here is a chance to see the full range on one page, colour coded as follows:
red = full day (e.g. 0915-1600);
blue = half-day only (e.g. 0915-1230).

1. Making Learning Happen – a full-day masterclass, aimed at experienced staff,  focussing on learning, feedback, assessment and teaching, including the main parts of (3), (5) and (6) below, along with a creative problem-solving exercise for participants.
2. Getting Published – full day workshop on getting going with your writing and maximising your hit rate with editors, referees and publishers. This workshop focuses on drafting from scratch an outline of a new piece of writing, and then working up the plan and gaining feedback from fellow-participants.
