Download or read book Learning Interventions for Consultants written by Manuel London and published by Fundamentals of Consulting Psy. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Employee development is a driver of economic growth. Employees and organizations are part of what the Danish economist B. A. Lundvall called the learning economy, in which knowledge is the critical resource and the most important process is learning. Today's organizations expect employees to be continuous learners, to maintain and increase their skills and competencies to keep up with the rapid pace of change and competition. This book guides learning consultants in how to design, implement, and support employee development programs. They may work with human resource managers to develop performance management systems that include selection, training, performance appraisal, feedback, and career development. The book is intended for consulting psychologists and those new to consultative roles. It also intends to appeal to nonpsychologists, such as learning consultants, corporate-based facilitators of learning, and others who are interested in specific aspects of training and development. The book comprises of six chapters. Chapter one describes the perspectives that consultants bring to learning interventions. Chapter two focuses on the science of learning, examining seminal theory and research that show the value of learning interventions to individuals, teams, and organizations. Chapter three describes five steps for creating training design and implementation: needs analysis, contracting, design, implementation, and evaluation. Chapter four focuses on the practice of learning, describing learning interventions for adaptive, generative, and transformative learning. Chapter five covers integrating technology into learning interventions. Finally, Chapter six offers recommendations for learning professionals, the challenges they face, and directions for the future."--Preface.

Download or read book School Consultation written by William P. Erchul and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its emergence during the 1960s, school consultation has become an important vehicle for delivering psychological and educational services. Cooperative efforts between skilled consultants and teachers, rooted in the principles of problem solving, social influence, and professional development, enhance student learning and adjustment while encouraging consultees to be more effective and proactive in their practice. The Third Edition of School Consultation: Conceptual and Empirical Bases of Practice shows in expert detail how this relationship works by synthesizing mental health and behavioral models of consultation with the most effective evidence-based practices (e.g., implementation support, response to intervention) informing the field today. The authors provide real-world contexts for all participants in the equation—consultants, teachers, students, staff, and the school itself—and thoroughly review consultation processes and outcomes for a contemporary practice-oriented approach suited to the new consultant, trainee, or researcher. Key features of the Third Edition include: An integrated mental health/behavioral model for school consultation. An organizational study of the school as a setting for consultation. Assessment issues and strategies particularly relevant to school consultation. Approaches to providing teachers with implementation support. Conceptual models for selecting academic and behavioral interventions. Administrative perspectives on school consultation. A real, transcribed case study analyzed by the authors. In the tradition of its predecessors, School Consultation, Third Edition, is a confidence-building tool for practitioners in school psychology, clinical child psychology, educational specialties, school counseling, special education, and school social work as well as a trusted reference for researchers in these fields.
Download or read book Consultants and Consultancy the Case of Education written by Helen M. Gunter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive study into and about consultants doing consultancy, and having influence in ways that generate concerns about an emerging ‘consultocracy’, with privileged access to governments and public services. It presents a detailed mapping of consultants and consultancy in education as a site of change and modernisation in public sector service provision. It considers consultancy at a macro-level of globalised policy, at a meso-level of national government policy, and at a micro level with vivid descriptions and analyses of consultants at work. The rapid rise of ‘edubusinesses’, combined with the restructuring of public services in western style democracies, has generated new types of ‘knowledge actors’ within education policy. Three main developments that have led to this change are: the entry of education policy and service consultants from within major companies into the public education market place; the emergence of ‘celebrity’ entrepreneurial actors and private businesses who make interventions into Universities and schools; and the rapid growth of small businesses based on individuals who have relocated their work from the public to the private sector. Such knowledge actors and the complexities they bring to public education are as yet under described and largely un-theorized. Based on current research and drawing upon a range of theoretical tools, this book fills the gap. Gunter and Mills provide an invaluable contribution to scholarship on the neoliberal restructuring of public education by mapping and analyzing the under-examined yet central role of corporate education consultants. Their thoughtful and thorough discussion expands our understanding of how consultants promote and trade in the ideologies of corporate culture. Gunter and Mills show how consultants are integral to both knowledge making practices in schools and a radical reform agenda for schools in the UK and around the globe. This is an accessible and important volume for not just policy and politics scholars but anyone concerned about defending public forms of education and associated living at a moment when they are increasingly being positioned for pillage by profiteers.

Book excerpt: Most consultation courses in school psychology focus heavily on theoretical models of consultation and associated intervention procedures. Little time is devoted to developing communication and process skills. Yet these process skills are key to properly identifying student problems and selecting appropriate interventions. Without skillfully conducted consultations, implementation and evaluation of an intervention can be minimal. This book is designed to help students develop the process skills needed to become effective school consultants in consultee-centered consultation, with special emphasis on the instructional consultation model. The authors address specific skills and issues faced by novice consultants and documents how they worked through particular issues that are likely to occur in school consultation practice.
