Teaching on the Run workshops

TOTR is a staff development package aimed at improving teaching and supervision in a clinical setting and includes six foundation workshops which will be delivered by the Westren Australian Centre for Rural Health (WACRH). The program is designed to:
• Build up confidence in applying the principles of teaching adults in the everyday work situation
• Help clinical teachers plan for, and recognise opportunities for teaching in the clinical setting
• Help clinicians to provide effective feedback
• Provide strategies that support good supervision and learner support
• Build clinicians confidence in their ability as teachers
• Encourage sharing of ideas and networking among clinical teachers that can enhance their practice
Participants to the TOTR program should already have teaching experience; this program seeks to build on current teaching practice.
