Proactive Professional Learning: Creating Conditions for Individual and Organizational Improvement

Autor Oran Tkatchov, Mary Tkatchov
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 dec 2019
In America, the average person will spend 90,000 hours at work, or about a quarter of his or her adult life. Job satisfaction, then, can have an enormous influence on quality of life. Unfortunately, many in the workforce will spend all or a portion of their work life feeling stagnant and lacking passion for their job. The choices organizational leaders make about staff development can influence the organization's success. Being proactive and intentional about how professional learning opportunities are selected and incorporated into the learners' professional lives will optimize the benefits for employers, employees, and the students, customers, or clients they serve. The topic of this book, proactive professional learning, is a way to create a rewarding, highly effective work environment that makes people want to get the most out of their work experience, and in doing so, optimize the effectiveness of the organization that employs them.

Recenzii

This is the right book at the right time! Professional development strategies are evolving with more focus on continuous, job-embedded learning. This book is essential for leaders who want to develop strategic, proactive learning plans to drive organizational improvement and empower individuals to remain relevant in the workplace.
Oran and Mary Tkatchov have written this comprehensive book laying out the critical processes and steps necessary for professionals to follow for life-long satisfaction in their chosen careers. Professionals committed to making a difference in their lives should make this book a 'must read'.
This book's thesis for proactive staff development is necessary, well-researched, and very practical. It approaches staff development from a systems perspective - so necessary if the extensive investment in staff development is going to provide the desired improvement in student learning. The #1 job of every school administrator is helping the adults grow and develop. This book is a manual for all administrators to use to guide their thinking and proactive action.
While the choices for professional learning for a school staff can be overwhelming, Proactive Professional Learning provides a step-by-step process to help leaders make sense of all of the options and make meaningful decisions about professional learning for a school or team. The inclusion of real-life scenarios and concrete examples of methods to deliver professional learning programs make this book a reader-friendly resource as you prepare to stimulate change and address the goals of your school or organization.
