Trainer Development with Dr Max Clayton
Trainer Development Workshop with Dr Max Clayton April 2010
This is a trainer development workshop being run by Dr Max Clayton. This trainer development workshop is designed for psychodrama trainers in practice and those who are in training. This is an extraordinary learning opportunity and I invite you to consider the thorough and challenging training program. It has significant learning opportunities at many levels of learning.
Max's Idea for the Workshop
A number of requests have been made for additional training. The requests I have received are listed in the next paragraph below. I see value in several of these being worked with in detail leading to greater role development and have developed a plan for bringing this about.
Areas of expertise in which trainers have requested additional training and practice:
- Role development for trainers.
- Training in sociodrama.
- Developing a complete perspective on a trainee with whom the trainer has been baffled and defeated.
- Greater ability to make use of maximisation and to teach maximisation. A trainerasks for practice, wishes to get a handle on what to do when a protagonist's warm-up drops while involved in maximising expression, values being able to sustain an adequate warm-up.
- Assessment of trainees during training and during the final practical assessment. Uncertainty and inadequacy have been expressed with respect to knowing what is an adequate standard.
- The writing of assessment reports.
- The warm-up to being an examiner.
- The supervision of the social and cultural atom assignment.
- The value of the open and closed systems assignment.
- The enlargement of a mutual relationship between trainers and the Board of Examiners.
A major part of the plan is to warm up several members of the trainer group to conducting the different phases of a psychodrama session and to warm up other members of the trainer group to making a complete assessment of that trainers functioning and work as their session proceeds and subsequent to that session. A supervision session with the producer and/or assessors will follow. It will be my work as the trainer to teach and coach with respect to the making of an assessment, the conduct of supervision, and the establishing of an adequate standard.
