Training and capability development

Activity

Establishing New Zealand's OER capability development initiative Our target for the first year of the project is to train a minimum of 145 teachers in collaborative authoring approaches. We envisage two major activities in achieving this target: Selecting 20 participants for a train-the-trainers workshop for scaling-up and widening professional development opportunities for New Zealand teachers. How should we identify and invite participants? (Reasonable travel and accommodation expenses for prospective trainers will be covered.) Implementing a minimum of 5 online training sessions and 20 "taster sessions" introducing teachers to the wiki model for New Zealand schools. These training initiatives will be conducted by "graduates" of the train-the-trainers workshop. (Trainers will qualify for an honorarium for facilitating and presenting these training workshops.) We need your help in: Determining the selection criteria for participants for the train-the-trainers workshop.
