The Supervisor Development Program (SDP) is a semester-long series of interactive, online workshops that aim to provide graduate research supervisors at La Trobe with knowledge and resources that will enhance their supervision practice. The SDP responds to the La Trobe Strategic Plan and the Graduate Researcher Experience and Wellbeing Plan by helping supervisors to build shared understandings of supervision practice that will enhance the research training experience and promote timely and effective completions.

The SDP workshops are organised in a sequence of four staged topics. It is recommended that participants aim to access the workshops in sequence over the course of a single semester. Participants are welcome to repeat any of the workshops at any time to reinforce specific aspects of their supervision practice.

About this session:

The first SDP workshop aims to help supervisors develop their understanding of the ideas, priorities, and other forces that inform their supervision practice. It encourages the view of supervision as a form of pedagogy, in which teaching and learning objectives sit alongside and intermix with the production of research findings.

Participants in this workshop will be introduced to key literature concerning the practice of supervision, and will be invited to develop concepts that translate these broad ideas to their own individual practice contexts.

Who should attend?

THIS WORKSHOP IS INTENDED FOR LA TROBE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE RESEARCH SUPERVISORS.
