Infographic: New Managers Not Getting the Training They Need to Succeed | Blanchard LeaderChat In a recent survey conducted by The Ken Blanchard Companies, more than 400 managers were asked to rate different types of training by order of importance. Here’s their top ten, ranked in order from most important to least important type of training (see infographic.) At the top, managers identified communication skills, help with transitioning to a leadership role, and interpersonal skills as the most needed training. In the middle, they identified setting goals, directing others, and managing conflict as next most important. In the last four slots, the respondents identified training on delegating tasks, dealing with performance issues, understanding HR policies, and conducting performance reviews as somewhat less important. Scott Blanchard, a principal with The Ken Blanchard Companies and coauthor of the company’s new First-time Manager program prioritizes a similar list in the September issue of Ignite. “A new generation of managers is moving forward.

Marx's theory of alienation The 19th-century German intellectual K.H. Marx (1818–83) identified and described four types of Entfremdung (social alienation) that afflict the worker under capitalism. Entfremdung (estrangement) is Karl Marx’s theory of alienation, that designates the types of human relations which are not controlled by their participants and the ensuing results thereof. Such relations present themselves as the separation of things that naturally belong together; and the placement of antagonism between things that are properly in harmony. Alienation (Entfremdung) is the systemic result of living in a socially stratified society, because being a mechanistic part of a social class alienates a person from his and her humanity. Type of alienation[edit] Let us suppose that we had carried out production as human beings. The four types of Entfremdung are (I) Alienation of the worker from the work — from the product of his labour (II) Alienation of the worker from working — from the act of producing Communism
How to Use Flipcharts Techniques > Public speaking > Speaking Tips > How to Use Flipcharts Preparation | Writing | Drawing | On the wall | General use | See also Using a flipchart during a presentation or training session can be a very successful tool or can go horribly wrong. Here's a set of tips and suggestions to ensure your session goes down well. Preparation Before you start your presentation, take time to prepare the flipchart setup. Check charts, paper and pens Check that you have the expected number of flipcharts and that they are stationed at the right points in the room. Know the approximate number of flipchart pages you will need and ensure there is enough paper available. Also check that you have enough pens of the right color. Pencil skeleton If you will be drawing known diagrams at fixed points and your freehand style is not great, you may want to lightly draw the pictures using a fine pencil that you will be able to see but your audience will not (check this by going to the front row and looking).
Adult Learning Theory and Principles Become familiar with Adult Learning Theory and the six principles of adult learning Adult Learning Theory Part of being an effective educator involves understanding how adults learn best (Lieb,1991). Andragogy (adult learning) is a theory that holds a set of assumptions about how adults learn. Andragogy emphasises the value of the process of learning. It uses approaches to learning that are problem-based and collaborative rather than didactic, and also emphasises more equality between the teacher and learner. Andragogy as a study of adult learning originated in Europe in 1950's and was then pioneered as a theory and model of adult learning from the 1970's by Malcolm Knowles an American practitioner and theorist of adult education, who defined andragogy as "the art and science of helping adults learn" (Zmeyov 1998; Fidishun 2000). What do you mean by 'adult learning principles'? Knowles identified the six principles of adult learning outlined below. Good question!! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
What makes for effective PLD? | Derek's Blog At a meeting I attended last week a group of people were discussing approaches they might use to 'bring teachers up to speed' with the ideas and approaches they were discussing (in this case, computational thinking). The discussion that ensued raised all of the usual issues around why it's difficult to find effective PLD solutions: teachers are time poor, the overloaded curriculum, lack of expertise, reluctance to change etc. When turning their attention to finding a solution the predictable list appeared: provide more teacher only days (TODs), introduce a range of incentives (carrots), introduce mandatory requirements (sticks) etc. The discussion also ventured into the problem with providing PLD support that is 'just in time' rather than that which is 'just in case'. Effective professional learning and development has the following four characteristics:It is in-depthIt is provided over timeIt is related to practiceIt is contextually relevant Such moves are not surprising.
6 characteristics of great PD (and great classrooms) | eSchool News | eSchool News | 2 1. Constructivist The best PD workshops are constructivist, or marked by experiential learning. In these workshops participants are actively discovering the features, properties, and potential of a tool, app and a device. They are also being challenged to make sense of tools for themselves. In sum, we want our participants (and, ultimately, their students) engaged in active inquiry and problem solving and assuming increased responsibility for their own learning. 2. Fundamental changes in instructional practices are principally the result of peer-to-peer interaction, whether formal or informal. Collaborative exchanges between colleagues and discussion around instructional practices sit at the heart of every workshop (or online course) that we run. 3. 4. While participants are working individually or in groups, the instructor is now free to move about the room and engage students on a more individual and personal level, providing guidance and support. 5. 6.

Donald Alan Schon (1930-1997) trained as a philosopher, but it was his concern with the development of reflective practice and learning systems within organizations and communities for which he is remembered. Significantly, he was also an accomplished pianist and clarinettist – playing in both jazz and chamber groups.

Tip 114 - Audio QR Codes Imagine students’ artwork hanging in your school’s hallway and beside each masterpiece is a QR code. When parents, students, and other teachers scan the code using a mobile device, they hear the student telling about themselves and the relevance of their art... Or what about a QR code in the back of a library book that allows you to hear a student’s review of the book? Or a QR code sent home to parents that allows them to listen to their 1st grader reading or telling a story? Sounds difficult, doesn’t it? Well, don’t worry -- it really isn’t hard at all!

QR Codes – What are they and how can I use them in my classroom? A QR Code is a type of barcode that is readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera telephones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, URL, or other data*. Like me, you may have seen these codes in newspapers and magazines, on promotional material, in the corner of posters and wondered what they were all about. First, watch this short, fun video from a primary class in Queensland to get an idea of how QR Codes are being used in the classroom, and then keep reading. QR Codes can provide an alternative access format for students who need additional support in reading and writing. The way QR Codes can be used in the classroom is only limited by our own and our students’ imagination. More ideas? QR Codes in the Cla Teaching with QR MacBook QRGen iPad
