Good Theory Good Practice 2020

Good Theory Good Practice 2020
Webinar Recordings - Recorded in October 2020
CPD Competency - Professional Practice Application

This year the Queensland CDAA Division presented an exciting online event that provides insights into practical applications of theories, opportunities and pathways into broadcast media, as well as how best to support clients with modern recruitment and interview strategies.

Unique perspectives are shared by a line-up of wonderful guest speakers who are leaders in research, education, community, media, recruitment, and outplacement.

- Session 1: Guest Speaker - Col McCowan (OAM)
Session Title: “Facilitating evidence-based practice: Finding ways and means to measure our work.”

Dr Susan Whiston at the 2018 CDAA conference in Hobart put out a very strong plea for evidence-based practice and her own meta-analyses have provided a great contribution. For the hard-working practitioner in Australia however, it is difficult to know where to start, what measures to use and how to use them to improve our practice. In this session, Col provides an overview of some evidence-based practices and the progress he is making on developing Scales to address programs and practice in educational settings.

- Session 2: Guest Speaker - Spencer Howson
Session Title: “Yes, there are still jobs in the media!”

With the recent on-going contraction of the Australian media industry, you could be forgiven for thinking there are no jobs left in the media. You would be wrong. Spencer Howson from ABC Radio and the University of Southern Queensland explains where the job opportunities are, and what skills and training are needed to be in with a chance. Spoiler alert: specialisation is out, diversification is in! Spencer touches on the challenge of getting talented people to “go regional”. He offers tips for those wanting to get into the media (both are needed!)

- Session 3: Panel (Donna Thistlethwaite, Nia Lloyd & Geoff Stanhope)
Session Title: “Supporting clients with modern recruitment and interview strategies”
