Teaching and Learning Companion – The TLC

 

Registration

We’re delighted to welcome Rebecca Crane, PhD, MA, director of the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at the University of Bangor, and Gemma Griffith, PhD, Senior Lecturer and Director of Postgraduate Programmes at the CMRP, Banror Univeristy, for a two half-day workshop on the TLC, new « companion » developed out of the MBI:TAC, allowing any instructor to engage in a self-reflexion about his/her teaching that is stimulating, accessible and kind.

Description

This two part workshop will introduce you to the TLC and how to use it to support your development as a Mindfulness-Based Programme (MBP) teacher. The TLC developed out of and is closely structured on the Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Teaching Assessment Criteria (MBI:TAC) which offers a mapping of teaching skill and is now used worldwide to assess MBP teachers. The TLC comes from a different perspective – it is designed to support your reflection about your internal process as an MBP teacher – – the ‘inside-out’ feel of things. The self-reflective process we are inviting here is part of your mindfulness practice – noticing when you move into criticism or praise, and being aware of any bodily or emotional responses. Remembering, that while we hold the aspiration to be as skilful as possible in our teaching, it is also important to allow ourselves to be where we are from moment to moment. Playing with holding the natural (and wholesome) wish to be a ‘good’ MBP teacher with kind awareness, yet not being driven by it.

The workshop will enable you to build familiarity with the tool so that you can take it away and use it to support personal, peer and supervisory reflections. In between the two taught sessions, participants will be invited to join two 1 hour and 30 minutes peer-led sessions to practice using the tool.

The TLC is available in English here and is available in French here.

How to prepare for the online workshop?

In order to support your availability throughout this program, we encourage you, whenever possible, to:

  • settle into a room where you can be alone, in silence, without being disturbed;
  • have a computer or tablet with mic and camera
  • place your device (computer, tablet) on a flat and stable surface. For everyone’s comfort, please do not move your device with the camera open.
  • limit the use of electronic devices to what is essential for the seminar (phones, computers, tablets…). This is a great opportunity to become aware of all the electronic devices around us, and suspend their function of distracting our attention for a few hours.  Make sure you close all programs other than Zoom, turn off all notifications and put your phone in aeroplane mode.
  • to maintain confidentiality, make sure that your screen is not visible or the sound cannot be heard by people outside the training. Using headphones can be helpful.
  • a chair, a cushion or a meditation bench for sitting meditation;
  • a plaid, shawl or blanket to cover you if you are cold;
  • water or tea/tea to keep you hydrated during the day.

We are aware that our family circumstances may require special attention to our loved ones at home and availability for those we care about. Do the best you can to provide favorable and supportive circumstances for your seminar. Your intention and commitment will be your best support.

Some testimonials from the workshop with Rebecca Crane in 2021

(testimonials are in French)

En partant de l'auto-critique , j'ai pris conscience de certaines limites inhibantes. En les reconnaissant et grâce au TLC ainsi que la confiance établie entre nous, j'ai ouvert des espaces qui me révèlent d'autres possible et j'en suis ravie!

Isabelle    03/11/2021  

Ce webinaire a été une vraie prise et de conscience (...) et m'a apporté (...) une véritable clarté sur ce que j'ai à faire, à progresser, à mettre en place.

Catherine    30/10/2021  

J’ai été touchée par la gentillesse, la douceur et l’accueil expérientiel de Rebecca et par sa démarche avec le TLC qui représente pour moi un changement très profond de paradigme au niveau de l’apprentissage.

Véronique    01/11/2021  

Cette formation fut très enrichissante quant à une auto-réflexion structurée sur mon enseignement (...) et pour poursuivre le dialogue apaisé et constructif avec mon critique intérieur.

Anne    31/10/2021  

La formation m'a permis de rencontrer des instructeurs de différents horizons, élargir ma vision et nourrir certains aspects auxquels que je n'aurais pas pensé.

Isabelle    03/11/2021  

Cette formation m'a permise de reconnaitre mes compétences et [là où j'ai besoin de] développer mes besoins d'apprentissage (...). Cette expérience me fait de nouveau sentir les bienfaits d'un accompagnement clair, structuré et bienveillant.
