This training day does not involve any direct input from the AMBIT training team, but is hosted and run by the teams themselves.
The ongoing practice of AMBIT skills is an important part of the AMBIT approach which avoids a consistently "top-down" relationship to teams that have been trained. To a degree teams are encouraged to develop an AutoDidact capacity - organising themselves to practice locally, relating the content of their curriculum to local needs.

Assessing need

Local teams can audit their own practice, using the APrAT (a self-audit tool) to identify training needs. Complete this with team discussion on:

• A "typical case"
• A "hard case"
• A "case we are doing well with"

Where are the practice/theory gaps that might benefit from LEARNING at work?

Here is a training exercise, helping AMBIT Lead/AMBIT Local Trainers to identify what might be the most helpful areas to work on with their team, using the "reflective practice audit" that we call the AMBIT Practice Audit Tool (APrAT). Particularly note the emphasis on teams working out how they might wish to adapt EXISTING STRUCTURES in their team, rather than add new tasks...

Local training events

AMBIT promotes local teams to become increasingly AutoDidactic (this is about Scaffolding existing relationships).

Tips for AMBIT Leads to help embed AMBIT

The AMBIT Lead in a team is there to support the Implementation Plan for that team.

• See all the material at AMBIT LEADS - useful training pages
• See all the subtopics under the heading SUSTAIN best practice
• Place posters illustrating key AMBIT material to prompt behaviour change. Eg:
• AMBIT Wheel
• Thinking Together
• Dis-integration grid
• Use AMBIT stance playing cards in Team Meetings.
• Help team members to Make the manual your Browser HOMEPAGE.
• Use the SNAPSHOT button to share relevant pages from the manual with staff.
• If required find Organisational support for the technology to run TiddlyManuals.
