Incredible Years | Getting started as a group leader

Overview

Coming on board as a Ngā Tau Mīharo | Incredible Years group leader and delivering your first few programmes can be daunting at first. You’ll soon find your own way within the processes and procedures.

There’s a solid structure of personal and professional support that goes with being a group leader. You’ll find Ngā Tau Mīharo | Incredible Years is a safe place for sharing and learning – for whānau, kaiako and group leaders.

As with our whānau and kaiako, we show whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and whakamana to each other as group leaders.

Preparing your programmes

  • Where available, you’ll be paired with an experienced and accredited group leader who will work alongside you and co-deliver with you
  • Your Te Tāhuhu | Ministry coordinator can support you with preparing for your programme, providing books and handouts, familiarising you with the reporting requirements and national Register of Participants

Managers, find people in your organisation to help with administration and technology support.

Delivering your sessions

  • Your co-group leader, peer coaches, mentors and other group leaders are all available to bounce around ideas, work through issues and problem-solve
  • All your sessions will be recorded, and you’ll be asked to choose excerpts to show at your supervision sessions. It takes time to be able to watch yourself and to have others watch you and provide feedback. Be open to earning from the process and from those who have likely experienced much of what you have
  • Those in your group will fill out session evaluations for each session, and you will regularly fill out a Collaborative Process Checklist (see downloadable checklists)

Ongoing development

  • Stay connected with those you trained with to share experiences and learnings
  • Connect with other group leaders to share ideas and resources that they use
  • You’re required to undertake regular formal supervision

Frequently asked questions

Is there a cost to attending an event / training or to do an online course?

Whāraurau is funded by the  Government to provide training, however as we have limited funds it is important to let us know if you aren't able to attend. This also allows us to offer your place to someone else. Note: we do not cover the cost of travel or accommodation.

The event or training is face-to-face however the location has yet to be confirmed.

As we like to get things in people’s diaries early, we sometimes open up registrations prior to confirming the exact physical location.  As soon as it is confirmed we’ll let everyone know.

I haven’t received a confirmation email or a Zoom link to the training / event.

Please email coordinator@wharaurau.org.nz outlining the issue you’re having, and we’ll get back to you.

I’m unsure if I meet the pre-requisites noted or that this is the right course for my level of knowledge?

Please send us an email coordinator@whāraurau.org.nz outlining what course you’re interested in and we’ll come back to you.

Frequently asked questions

How do I access online modules?

Whether or not you have done an online course with us or not, you will have to register for the course you want to do. Once you have completed the registration, you will be sent an email asking you to login. You use your username (email address) and then create a password. If you get stuck, then email coordinator@wharaurau.org.nz.

What do you do with the information I provide when I register to do an online course?

This information is stored in a secure database. We use it to help us report back to our funders, as well as to send you information on other training/events/online courses that may be of interest to you. Please view our Privacy Policy for more information.

What if I sign up but don’t complete the online course?

We know things can get busy and so if you need to take a break that’s fine. We’ll send out a reminder so you don’t forget to come back at a time that’s more convenient.

What do I do if I’ve lost my login or password to the learning management system?

Please email coordinator@wharaurau.org.nz and we’ll help get you back in.

Will I receive a completion certificate?

Yes, at the end of each online course you will receive a completion certificate.

What if I need help?

Email us on coordinator@wharaurau.org.nz outlining the problem and we’ll get back to you.

What happens if I can’t finish the online course / module in one go?

That is fine – our online courses are meant to be self-paced, and you can complete it when you have the time.
