In this workshop we will:
- Explore how to establish a good relationship from the start
- explore setting expectations
- Consider managing boundaries and establishing ground rules
Participants who have completed this course/session will be able to:
- confidently conduct a first meeting with a new PGT supervisee and ensure that ground rules are established and expectations shared
- Identify strategies for monitoring progress, giving feedback and supporting student through the PGT project and/or dissertation
- demonstrate understanding of how PGT supervisory experience can be used to evidence your teaching experience
Participants will have the opportunity to make connections between both forms of supervision but should be mindful that our focus is PGT students and that many aspects of PGT supervision are unique to PGT contexts and are less relevant for research students. We offer a session called Developing as a Doctoral Supervisor where issues related to research students are discussed in greater depth.
