Pre-course work for IAC workshop

Pre-course work for IAC workshop


Prior to attending the Improving Appraisal Conversations workshop, participants are asked to complete two tasks as part of the pre-course work:

  1. Review the below videos
  2. Consider an appraisal situation that you (as appraisee) would bring to the practice sessions.

During the workshop there will be two practical exercises in which you have the opportunity to take the role of appraiser and appraisee. Please be prepared to use an issue that you might bring to your own appraisal to explore with an appraiser in these sessions. Each practice session will be facilitated by a tutor. 

A copy of the slides has been made available for info below.

Background and other resources

The aims of the workshop is to deepen the appraisal conversation by practicing some of the techniques used in coaching and mentoring, exploring the skills associated with it without making use of any specific models.  However, you may find it beneficial for background information to review module 5 of the New Appraiser training: Coaching approach in appraisals.

You may also find the following videos on the Skilled Helper model of interest:
