Exploring Supervision Program 2010

In response to your feedback, we are offering the Exploring Supervision Program three times in 2010, and we are offering it in 'intensive' mode, outside of the teaching semester.  The program structure & requirements remain the same, but there is, we hope, more opportunity for you to participate!

The 2010 schedule is given below, along with information on the HDR Supervisor Induction workshop. The three ESP workshops are offered on successive days in the Easter break, in the mid-year non-teaching period, and at the end of Semester 2. All staff are welcome to attend all or any of these sessions whenever they are offered - you don't have to come to all three in a row.

But please do register with us first, using the links provided to access the on-line enrolment system. For more background information on the program, and for further details on taking the program for the purposes of HDR supervisor registration, please return to the Exploring Supervision Program home page.

We will examine what the research says about this issue, and we will seek to apply the findings to examples of student writing. The needs of both native and non-native writers of academic English will be considered, and supervisors are encouraged to bring along typical or problematic examples of student writing for the workshop to assist with. Register for workshop	For all HDR supervisors, new or experienced. Please bring along any samples of student writing that you would like assistance in responding to, and/or that typify the sorts of challenges you face in developing your students' writing abilities.
by arrangement	Semester 2 Research Project presentations Staff who enrol in the full module Effective Supervision Program undertake an investigation of a researcher education issue within their discipline, and present a seminar outlining their findings. The seminar can be delivered to a group of colleagues within the School/Discipline/Faculty, or as a paper at a relevant education or disciplinary conference.
