Topic: “Facilitating Feedback session with students”

Feedback is necessary for the growth of your students, so why is it so difficult for them to give and receive feedback? Why do they tend to perceive feedback as sheer criticism. What is the effect of feedback on psychological safety?

In this workshop we’ll look at the effect feedback has on people, we’ll discover the biggest obstacles for giving feedback, and we will work on the best preparation and execution. The aim is to give you tools to facilitate valuable feedback sessions, that foster growth and contribute to a psychological safe learning environment.

Topic: “The Systemic View in Team Facilitation: the whole is different than the sum of its parts”

As a team facilitator, you may find that it’s sometimes challenging to form a team and guide it towards its desired goal. While the individual intention is there, you know that it could be more effective. In such cases, it’s beneficial to consider the team as a whole, as a system, as a group with its own developmental stages and behaviors.

As a Project Mentor or Coach, you will learn the four basic principles of systemic thinking, how to view a team as an organic entity, and what this means for you and the group’s effectiveness.

Topic: “Giftedness, shining a light on bright students”

Giftedness is not merely about being an ‘Einstein’ and having an IQ score >130. Among students as well as among teachers confusion exist about giftedness. There is no clear definition, while there are many assumptions about giftedness, like the idea that a student should only achieve high grades and never get stuck at university. In fact, giftedness is not only mental acuity or cognitive ability, but it is a set of characteristics, including also sensitivity, doubt and setting (too) ambitious bars.

Although gifted students mention the same problems as their peer students, an extra layer of complexity is added because of these characteristics and this can influence their personal well-being and academic performance in a negative way.

Understanding of these layers by themselves and by the people in their environment like tutors/teachers/mentors, will support gifted students to develop and use their talents and learn them how to thrive in (academic) life.

After participating in this session, you will:
…have an alternative framework regarding stereotypical thinking about giftedness.
…have insight into the different struggles and associated underlying processes that gifted people may encounter.
…understand which aspects may support gifted students and how you as a mentor/tutor/teacher etc. can be of value in the guidance of these students.

Topic: “Dealing with uncomfortable behaviour”

When facilitating group discussions, we sometimes have to deal with awkward moments – like when someone, often without meaning to, makes a comment that can be hurtful to others. How do we deal with this in student groups?
