This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a novel health interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) program established at King Saud University (KSU), Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The book has three main sections. The first section introduces interprofessional education's background, theory, and context for collaborative practice. This section elaborates on defining and developing centers of excellence in IPECP, defining and exploring the meaning of interprofessional collaborative practice in contemporary health care, theories of the team working relevant to health and social care systems, and learning in and about interprofessional groups and broader collaboration. The second section explains how to formulate and implement strategies for effective IPECP. It involves developing and implementing a novel health IPECP curriculum, governance, IPECP's impact and implications on health care outcomes, IPE accreditation standards, regulatory policies, and legal structures. The third section describes the result of a case study of an IPECP program established at KSU. This program is developed by the vice-rectorship for health specialties at KSU (VRHS-KSU) in collaboration with partners harvard medical international (PHMI) to enhance health professional education further through interprofessional education and collaboration. For that purpose, a strategic plan is developed to develop learning, teaching, and assessment in all health sciences colleges (HSCs), along with a governance structure to establish a joint "center of excellence in interprofessional education and collaborative practice (CoE-IPECP)". The strategic plan and design of the program summarized in this book were accomplished through several meetings, workshops, and courses conducted at KSU in Riyadh, and harvard macy institute (HMI) in Boston, USA. The toolkit for successful program implementation includes a pro forma business plan, implementation groups' training, matching needs with feasibility, and expected impact on HSCs. Initiation of pilot projects started with implementing some interprofessional courses, establishing an initial physical and IT infrastructure of the center, developing the webpage, newsletter, and listservs, and improving faculty development programs to enhance IPECP at HSCs. Also, this book is a helpful road map for other national and international universities and institutes aiming to develop their professional health education, particularly interprofessional education and collaborative practice.

This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education in India is provided by the public sector as well as the private sector, with control and funding coming from three levels, namely, central, state, and local. The central (ČBSE, ICSE) and most state boards uniformly follow the ten plus two plus three' pattern of education. In this pattern, study of twelve years is done in a school and junior college (ten plus two years) and the attainment of a Bachelor's degree takes three years of studies thereafter. The first ten years is further subdivided into five years of primary education, three years of upper primary, followed by two years of high school. It is important to clarify that while there are private schools in India, they are highly regulated in terms of what they can teach, in what form they can operate (for example, only non-profit organizations can run an accredited educational institution) and all other aspects of operation. This book, Teacher Education, introduces the students to the concept of teacher education and, discussing the teaching as a profession.

On the other hand the chapter four takes on the topic of the teaching practices very deeply and explore the related topics such as: school internship, block teaching, lesson plan etc. lastly the chapter five and six discuss about the general and different method of teaching and issue and complication related to education.
Download or read book Return on Investment in Education written by Stephen Frank and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, there has been growing interest in adapting Return-on-Investment thinking to education--sometimes called educational productivity, or academic-ROI. Education leaders do not seek a monetary return on their spending, rather greater student learning, or other outcomes like student citizenship, higher graduation rates, or increased lifetime earnings and career options. Most ROI analysis misses a big opportunity; it is often used to evaluate programs and initiatives, such as comparing two professional development programs. This process leaves out some of the biggest cost drivers in the district's budget and never addresses some of the fundamental resource issues that may actually drive student success. Education leaders need a new approach--a System-Strategy ROI. This approach starts with a fundamental student need and asks not "Which program is better?" but "What resources will meet this need?" School system leaders can help their teams take a System-Strategy ROI approach by structuring the planning conversation around five key steps: (1) Identify the core need: What fundamental student performance need are we focusing on, and what's our theory of change for addressing it?; (2) Consider a broad range of investment options: What are the investments we currently make to address this need, and what else could we do?; (3) Define ROI metrics and gather data: What are the relative returns (costs weighed against benefits) to the set of current/potential options?; (4) Weigh investment options: What other factors do we need to consider, in order to select from among the options?; and (5) Make investment decisions: How can we free resources to do what we want to do? It is important to note that ROI--in any form--is not a magic formula, but the System-Strategy approach is a powerful tool for adding structure, rigor, and data-backed evidence to the difficult decisions a school system must make on behalf of its students. Ultimately, the fundamental question we must ask is, "How can we use all our limited resources strategically to improve student achievement and meet our goals?" This document guides districts toward the goal of aligning school system resources to strategic priorities so that every school succeeds for every student.
