Managing group work can be a challenging activity - and it needs to be well planned, relevant and  appropriate for different age groups of students. Group  facilitators need to feel confident that they are  equipped with the strategies and techniques to manage  a range of potential responses which students may  have to particular activities.
  This practical training day has been designed for  Learning Mentors and other staff who work with  students in small groups. It will give suggestions for  group work activities which address issues commonly  faced by Learning Mentors. Delegates will have the  opportunity to try out different starters, games and  group activities - and guidance will be given on how to  manage a variety of possible student responses.
