This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of early childhood, after school and youth programming is increasingly dynamic and requires managers and leaders who can continually assess and grow their own knowledge, skills and dispositions to stay responsive to ever-changing needs and expectations in their position. The goal of this book is to describe the many facets of the role of the administrator and the knowledge, skills and dispositions needed to be successful managers and leaders. We recognize that wherever an administrator may begin to look at this role, there are multiple layers to every aspect, leading to a role that can be overwhelming. These 4 core areas with 14 competencies and 126 indicators provide a framework that makes the role of an administrator accessible. Therefore, we've designed a self-assessment tool managers and leaders can use to assess their own skill level from beginner to expert for the indicators listed under each of the fourteen competencies. The book includes a template for administrators to create an action plan with specific next steps outlined to increase his/her skill level. Program quality improvement begins with the administrator making a plan for self-improvement through intentional professional development opportunities.

As professional development, the course is approved for program administrators and early childhood educators pursuant to the University of Georgia's training approval contract with Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning and Georgia Department of Education's Office of Professional Learning. This course fulfills the forty hour training requirement for program administrators and teachers of early care and education and school-age care programs. It also meets the competency goals and indicators set forth in Rules and Regulations for Day Care Centers 290-2-2-09. (2014) Participants demonstrate an application of effective school leadership behaviors and practices that support proficiency in all of the Georgia Department of Education's School Keys of Excellence. Course assessments utilize the Georgia Leader Keys Performance Appraisal System leading to individual professional growth goals. The manual accompanies the online or classroom face-to-face training. Any owner, board member, administrative staff member (e.g. Principal, Director, Afterschool coordinator, Extended Care Supervisor, summer enrichment Program Coordinator, Bookkeeper, Administrative Director, Athletic Program Director, and so forth), or program supervisor that makes decisions needs to complete the course. Upon completion participants receive a Georgia program administration credential. The primary course objective is to equip participants with child care program planning and administration knowledge and skills (e.g. licensing, legal issues, child development, developmentally appropriate practices, marketing, budget, maintenance, staff development, parental/community relations, ethics, professionalism, diversity) in order to improve the quality of educational programs for young children. Programs which use the model provided will be structured to meet National Health and Safety Performance Standards for Educational Settings (2012) which are provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics (as well as the accreditation standards of most organizations (e.g. Southern association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI)).
Download or read book Career Pathways Handbook written by Jim Cassio and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 845 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the content in the Career Pathways Handbook is based on a series of career profiles - each one packed with four pages of valuable information, including the latest U.S. employment statistics and wage information, career dialogues with "real people" who work in the occupations, and extensive information for identifying and comparing related occupations. Each profile uses a consistent format to allow for easy reading and useful comparisons between occupations. While this book is based on a foundation of 154 different occupations, it also includes valuable information on several hundred occupations via the career path and related occupations tables. It is important to me that the information in this book will not only be useful to readers, but also be as current and reliable as possible. Therefore I have included the most recent information from reliable Government sources, as well as my own proprietary information from 20 years of extensive occupational research. The Government sources are U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) programs. For example, I have incorporated information from DOL's new O*NET Database, which includes the occupation titles and definitions, common job tasks, key skills and abilities, and related occupations. I have added the most recent employment statistics and wage information from DOL's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Finally, from our own research, I have added career path and "real people" career dialogue elements, and have enhanced and expanded the DOL information throughout. For example, the O*NET Related Occupations lists were significantly expanded and education/training information, along with growth and wage data, were added to make occupational comparisons more meaningful. The Job Tasks have been expanded to make them more useful. The education and training information is based on DOL's Typical Education Levels, but has also been expanded for this book. I have also written or rewritten many of the job outlook and analysis statements that are incorporated into the Employment Outlook sections. Finally, I have included a number of resource guides to help job seekers and career explorers reach their goals. Beginning on page 617, there are guides on Planning Your Career, Researching Occupations, Education & Training Options, Looking for a Job, Competing for a Job, Writing a Resume, Writing a Cover Letter, Completing the Application, Preparing for the Interview, and Common Interview Questions. There are countless numbers of books (both good and bad ones) on all of these subjects, so I've included a list of my favorite books on my website under Readers' Resources (see www.cassio.com). Also included on this website is an online guide to "State Training & Postsecondary Education Directories" and a list of my "Favorite Job Websites." Best regards, Jim Cassio www.cassio.com An absolutely essential career reference for finding comprehensive job information spanning a total of 150+ occupations. This is the all-inclusive guide to helping a job seeker go from planning a career to looking for a job. The career profiles offer extensive statistical research on employment and job skills for each career path. Highly recommended for all public and academic libraries. Regina Jimenez, Research Librarian, Folsom Lake College This book is a wonderful and powerful tool for guidance counselors and individuals who are looking to start, change, or enhance their careers. The Career Pathways Handbook provides useful and insightful job skills information in a clear and reasoned manner. The personal point-of-view provided by the career professionals in each career gives the user an inside perspective on making career decisions that is refreshing!
