Training of Trainers: Overview
The PCAsia Programme on Training of Trainers (PCAsia-ToT) is designed to promote leadership capacity, mentoring and coaching approaches and learning-centered pedagogies for future trainers in the AIPA Member Parliaments. It seeks to build upon the professional development of parliamentary staff using various pedagogic strategies, which in turn help staff to undertake their parliamentary work. The programme is delivered in cooperation with subject experts from the University of Sussex, UK.
Objectives
To ensure the acquisition of knowledge, the trainees will have to complete a training portfolio, reflecting upon techniques gained from the online training delivered by the Sussex University. The main objectives of the training are as follow:
- Reflecting on and strengthening personal leadership and team development
- Supporting professional growth through mentoring and coaching
- Identifying effective pedagogic strategies which stretch, challenge and support others in training contexts
- Exploiting new technologies in delivering training and professional development (online and in-person)
- Embedding effective assessment and feedback
