What will be covered in this course
Over a period of 8 weeks, participants will have access to 4 modules.
Module 1: Introduction to Intergenerational Practice Program
- What is intergenerational practice and what is it not? It also introduces the learner to the Australian intergenerational practice framework.
Module 2: Developing an Intergenerational Practice Program
- All about developing an intergenerational program including, setting up the program and developing the budget.
Module 3: Implementing an Intergenerational Practice Program
- Implementation of the program with great tips on recruitment and curriculum content
Module 4: Evaluating an intergenerational program with tools to start your evaluation and building the evidence base.
- Each module will take 2-4 hours of your time, depending on the depth of your curiosity. If you want to take advantage of the “delve deeper” items, the course will take a little longer. All modules are released when you start the course, so you can continue the modules at your own pace.
The course is supported by many downloadable tools, including budgeting tools, evaluation tools etc.
This professional development program is supported by fortnightly virtual catch-ups on MICROSOFT TEAMs, with our AIIP course developers and facilitators who are practitioners and researchers in the field. We will let you know which days and times the coffee shop is “open”.
There is no assessment as such, but you will need to complete the reflection items by filling out the forms when prompted within the modules. Upon completion of these reflection points you will be asked to send a word document of your reflection points so that we can track your completion. Once we have received your reflection points document, you will be eligible for an AIIP completion certificate and a digital badge credential.
