Learning Interventions for Consultants by Manuel London,Thomas Diamante Pdf

"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.

Becoming a School Consultant by Sylvia Rosenfield Pdf

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.

Schools and school staff play a critical role in the cognitive, behavioral, emotional, social, and interpersonal development of children and adolescents.

Evidence-Based Interventions for Students with Learning and Behavioral Challenges by Richard J. Morris,Nancy Mather Pdf

This book assembles into one volume summaries of school-based intervention research that relates to those who deal on a regular basis with the growing body of students having high-incidence learning disabilities and/or behavior disorders: special educators, school psychologists, and clinical child psychologists. Chapter authors begin with an overview of their topic followed by a brief section on historical perspectives before moving on to the main section – a critical discussion of empirically based intervention procedures. In those instances where evidence-based prescriptions can legitimately be made, authors discuss best practices and the conditions (e.g., classroom environment, teacher expertise) under which these practices are most effective. A final section deals with policy issues.

Building Competence in School Consultation by Daniel S. Newman,Sylvia A. Rosenfield Pdf

Building Competence in School Consultation, Second Edition, directly addresses the need for practical, comprehensive consultation training, including support materials, for school psychologists, counselors, and other professionals working in schools. School psychologists consistently indicate that consultation is a crucial component of their duties but that they lack sufficient opportunities to develop their corresponding knowledge, skills, and confidence during graduate training. Drawing from evidence-based approaches as well as experienced instructors’ real-world toolkits, these essential perspectives and activities approach the standard and less common challenges of the school consultant role. Written by two leading experts in consultation, this book brings school psychology research directly to graduate students and both novice and experienced practitioners, providing invaluable context, reflection activities, videos from fellow consultation experts, and resources that translate academic findings into skills ready for immediate use. This revised and expanded second edition includes two new chapters - one on collaboration and consultation on teams and another on teleconsultation – along with thoroughly updated content related to socially just and culturally responsive consultation practices; refreshed practice materials including rubrics and videos; references to newly published research and the latest professional standards; and updated activities for readers, all of which are freely downloadable.

Consultants and Consultancy: the Case of Education by Helen M. Gunter,Colin Mills Pdf

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.
