Learning about AMBIT

10th June 2015

Introduction

Obviously this manual has a huge amount of material about AMBIT! (see Core Features of AMBIT as starting point). This page will simply describe the learning about AMBIT during the first day of training.

Learning Outcomes

(a) To learn about the AMBIT wheel diagram and to recognise the main parts of the framework
(b) To learn about the eight parts of the basic stance
(c) To learn about the four key practices and the rationale for their prominence

Teaching

The first two learning outcomes will be covered by a 30 minute didactic presentation (either live or by video) followed by questions and discussion.

Core Features Part 1


Core Features Part 2


Training Exercise after didactic content

  • Whole team exercise.

  • Begin by working in pairs and give each pair one part of the basic stance to consider. (If there are not eight pairs then just select as many parts of the stance as you can).

  • Each pair discusses what they currently do now in relation to the 'stance'.

  • After ten minutes, there is a general discussion with the whole team as to how this basic stance fits with their existing practice.

  • At the end of the exercise the team is asked to consider which part of the basic stance they would like to work on to develop their work.

  • Note any conclusions from this discussion as a future manualising task.

Time allocation
