Student Partnerships: Setting up co-created student teaching initiatives: 1h Workshop at the Association for National Teaching Fellows Annual Symposium 2023, 20-21 April, De Montfort University Leicester, UK

There is widespread recognition of the benefits gained when students play an active role in shaping their learning experiences. Peer and near-peer led teaching schemes are a fantastic way to engage students in communities of practice related to both learning and teaching - as Carol Dweck says, “Teaching is a wonderful way to learn.” Skills-based learning in particular can lend itself to this sort of model. Resuscitation-Mentorship-Development-UK (RMD UK) is a national educational initiative, currently running at four UK University Medical Schools (Birmingham, Bristol, Brunel, Warwick), to deliver Basic Life Support training using a near peer-led teaching model. Students are engaged in all aspects of the scheme, from the planning and delivery of teaching and assessments, to co-leading research and outreach initiatives. This interactive workshop will support delegates to learn more about implementing ‘Student Partnerships’, using a multi-modal delivery style involving short presentations and videos, and live activities, including collaborative writing, post-it note tasks, and interactive online feedback. Through sharing ideas from the experiences from Medical Education and highlighting Advance HE’s ‘Students as Partners model’, (Healey et al (2014), https://documents.advance-he.ac.uk/download/file/63) the session aims to support delegates to develop their own ideas about setting up co-created student teaching initiatives
