ESDC | What to expect.....8th ICFDHP sample resources

Hi ,

Welcome to the ESDC.

The ESDC has been created to provide APLS Instructors the opportunity to further develop their teaching techniques.

As such, the course aims to be very practical, primarily focused on ‘hands on’ opportunities for all participants to practice teaching and to have the opportunity to receive feedback from a faculty of experienced and passionate educators.

As you proceed through the course you will gradually transition from receiving feedback to giving feedback to your peers.

On day 1 you will have the opportunity to practice scenario teaching and learning conversations and will receive focused, specific feedback from the faculty.

On day 2, you will practice skills teaching and discussion groups, but also rehearse giving educational feedback to your fellow instructors.

Scattered throughout the course are a number of plenaries designed to introduce you to new educational theories but also to offer the chance for some downtime to reflect on what you have learned, and discuss your findings with your peers.

We hope you will find the process both engaging and challenging. There is no assessment or testing, this is simply a place to enjoy and reflect on how we teach. As such we look forward to your feedback on your experience with the course.

Pre-course work (minimum):

• Read 4th Edition of Pocket Guide to Teaching for Clinical Instructors
• Read the key articles - we will be discussing these during the course. (Link to folder here)
• Listen to:  Simulation 101 – (13 mins) – The Pre-Brief  https://simulationpodcast.com/114-sim-101-the-pre-brief/
• Please review the PAC 2018 video -Top 5 Foundational papers in simulation. 
• Consider a short skill, (either clinical or non clinical) that you can teach on your skills teaching practice. As the focus will be on the format not the skill, please do not pick something that takes a long time to teach.

• Consider an APLS Group Discussion/Workshop Slide set you would like to facilitate, to discuss with the group. (We recommend only using 1-2 slides  for the given practice time)

Many thanks,

APLS ESDC Facilitators
