Selection and organization of learning experienceNursing Path
Curriculum is the educational design of learning experiences for the students. Curricular experiences include course content as well as learning activities. The selection and organization of curricular experiences must also reflect the philosophy of the school. The identifying and organizing of curricular experiences begins with the analysis of curriculum objectives. The most commonly used approach in selecting learning experiences is the logical approach in which the process is treated as content in curriculum development.
Curriculum Evaluation is the process of collecting data on a programme to determine its value or worth with the aim of deciding whether to adopt, reject, or revise the programme.
This is about educational supervision in schools and academic institutions as conducted by supervisors, principals,et. al. based on Goldhammer.

Reflect on a facilitated training session you experienced that affec.docxlaurieellan
Reflect on a facilitated training session you experienced that affected you either positively or negatively. Describe the methods, tools, or strategies from the session that you would like to emulate, if the experience was positive, or avoid, if the experience was negative. Analyze the facilitated session in terms of the characteristics of adult learning and effective facilitation that you have learned about in the course and course readings. Then, explain the role the training played in improving your individual performance and whether or not the learning objectives and design supported overall organizational improvement.

Week Lecture to use for information
Implementation
In previous weeks, you learned how to conduct an effective training needs assessment and initial steps of designing training, especially designing outcome-oriented learning objectives that become the road map for the next phases of training. You read the Domtar case and how Raymond Royer, the CEO, took initiative to develop employees; how he focused on developing strategic direction and specific goals that focused on (a) return on investment and (b) customer service. You also learned about appropriate training methods selection in the design and development phases.
The delivery methods and implementation of training are critical for the success of training in terms of employees’ engagement and motivation to learn. It is important to understand individuals’ learning styles to decide what methods are appropriate for a particular group of learners. To be more effective, training should include multiple training methods (e.g. lectures, brain storming, group work, discussions, role play, case analysis, simulations and games) and activities to motivate learners who have different types of learning styles, preferences, learning goals and personal expectations. Learner engagement is the key to learning. There are various methods you can use to engage and motivate learners for better results, such as role play, discussion, on-the-job training, simulation, self-directed learning, business games, case studies, team work, behavior modeling, etc.
Styles of Learning
People have different styles of learning. These learning styles help them to acquire new information and knowledge. There are many different learning styles but for simplicity they can be broken down into four major categories.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Development
Sparks, Dennis and Loucks-Horsley, Susan(1989). Five Models of
Staff Development. Journal of Staff Development. 10 1-26.
2. Five Models of Staff Development
Individually-guided staff development
Observation/assessment
Involvement in a development/improvement process
Training
Inquiry
3. Individually-guided
“I have come to feel that the only learning
which significantly influences behavior is
self-discovered, self-appropriated
learning.”
Rogers, 1969, p. 153
4. Individually-guided - Defined
A process through which teachers plan for and pursue activities
they believe will promote their own learning.
Designed by the teacher
Teacher defined goals and activities
5. Individually-guided - Underlying
Assumptions
Individuals can judge their own needs and that
they are capable of self direction and self-
initiated learning.
Adults learn most efficiently when they initiate
and plan their learning rather than spend their
time in irrelevant activities of little interest.
Most motivated when they select their own
leaning goals based on their personal of their
needs.
6. Individually-guided - Theoretical
and Research Underpinnings
Adult learning theory
Kidd (1973) and Knowles (1980)
Increasingly self-directed
Stimulated by real life tasks and problems
Stage Theory
Levine (1989)
Different stages of development have different needs
7. Individually-guided - Theoretical
and Research Underpinnings
Learning styles researchers
Dunn & Dunn (1978); Gregorc (1979)
Individuals differ in the way they process information and in the
manner they learn
Concerns-based Adoption Model (CBAM)
Hall & Loucks (1978)
As individuals learn new behaviors and change their practice, they
experience different concerns that in turn requires different types of
responses from staff developers
8. Individually-guided - Phases of
Activity
Identification of need or interest
Develop a plan to meet the need or interest
The learning activity
Assessment of whether the learning meets the identified need
or interest.
10. Observation/Assessment
Many teachers receive little or no feedback and in some cases
they only observed once every three years.
May be a powerful staff development model but is perceived
by teachers as evaluation.
In reality other forms such as peer coaching and clinical
supervision fall into this category
11. Observation/Assessment -
Underlying Assumptions
“Reflection and analysis are central means of
professional growth”. Loucks-Horsley (1987, p. 61)
Reflection by an individual on his or her own
practice can be enhanced by another’s observation.
Observation and assessment of classroom teachers
can benefit both parties – the observer and the
observed
When teachers see positive results from their efforts
to change they are more apt to engage in
improvement
12. Observation/Assessment theoretical
and research underpinnings
Teacher Evaluation
McGreal (1982)
Classroom observation plays a key role
Concern about reliability
Two ways to increase reliability
Narrow the range of what to look for (Madeline Hunter)
Use a pre-conference to increase the knowledge of the observer
prior to the observation
13. Observation/Assessment -
Theoretical and Research
Underpinnings
Clinical Supervision
Glatthorn (1984)
Recommends clinical supervisors (or coaches) alternate unfocused
observations with focused observations
Unfocused – observer usually takes verbatim notes on all
significant behaviors
Data gathered is used to identify strengths and potential
problems that are discussed in a problem-solving feedback
conference
Focused – observer gathers data related to identified problem
14. Observation/Assessment -
Theoretical and Research
Underpinnings
Clinical supervision
Glickman (1986)
Suggest that feedback be to provided teachers based on cognitive
levels.
“low-abstract” receive direct conferences ( problem identification
and solution comes from the coach)
“moderate-abstract” receive collaborative conferences (an exchange
of perceptions about problems and negotiated solutions)
“high-abstract” receive nondirective approach (coach or supervisor
helps the teacher clarify problems and choose a course of action)
15. Observation/Assessment - Phases of
Activity
Pre-observation conference
Observation
Analysis of data
Post-observation conference
In some cases, analysis of the observation/assessment process
16. Involvement in a Development/
Improvement Process
Teachers are asked to:
Develop or adapt curriculum
Design programs
Engage in a systematic school improvement
Any or all of these with the focus of improving
classroom instruction and/or curriculum.
Successful completion requires the teacher to gain
additional knowledge to complete the task.
This model focuses on the combination of learnings
that result from the involvement of teacher in the
process.
17. Involvement in a Development/
Improvement Process - Underlying
Assumptions
Adults learn more easily when they have a need
to know or a problem to solve (Knowles, 1980).
People working closest to the job best understand
what is required to improve their performance.
Teachers acquire important knowledge or skills
through their involvement in school improvement
or curriculum development processes.
18. Involvement in a Development/ Improvement
Process - Theoretical and Research
Underpinnings
Curriculum Development
Joyce and Showers (1988)
“It has been well established that curriculum implementation is
demanding of staff development – essentially, without strong
staff development programs that are appropriately designed a
very low level of implementation occurs” (p. 44).
Glickman (1987)
Three ways teachers can modify a district’s curriculum guide
Taking lists of objectives and recommended teaching methods and
turning them into a set of usable instructional guides
Adapt the guide to students’ special needs
Enhance the guide by developing optional enrichment units.
19. Involvement in a Development/ Improvement
Process - Theoretical and Research
Underpinnings
Curriculum Development
Glatthorn
Activities should be done in groups thus teachers will become more
cohesive and will share ideas about teaching and learning in general,
as well as, on the development task at hand.
School Improvement
Loucks-Horsley and Hergert (1985)
Described seven action steps in a school improvement process that are
based in research on implementation of new practices in schools
Cohen (1981)
Research on effective schools underpins an approach to school
improvement through staff development
20. Curriculum Development and School
Improvement - Phases of Activity
Identification of a problem or need by an
individual, a group of teachers, a school faculty,
or a district administrator.
Response is formulated
May be formal or informal
Response may be immediate or may require brainstorming
sessions
May require consultation with a larger group (i.e., whole
faculty)
Specific knowledge or skills may be required
Implement or produce the product
21. Training
… the purpose of providing training in any practice is not
simply to generate the external visible teaching “moves” that
bring that practice to bear in the instructional setting but to
generate the conditions that enable the practice to be selected
and used appropriately and integratively …a major, perhaps the
major, dimension of teaching skill is cognitive in nature
Showers, Joyce, and Bennett (1987, p. 85-86)
22. Training
Many educators equate training with staff development
Training session is conducted with a clear set of objectives or
learner outcomes that may include
Awareness or knowledge
Skill development
23. Training - Underlying Assumptions
There are behaviors and techniques that are worthy of
replication by teachers in the classroom
That teachers can change their behaviors and learn to replicate
behaviors in the classroom that were not previously in their
repertoire
24. Training - Theoretical and Research
Underpinnings
Training Model
Joyce and Showers (1988)
Depending on the desired outcomes, training might include:
Exploration of theory
Demonstration or modeling of a skill
Practice of a skill under simulated conditions
Feedback about performance
Coaching in the workplace
Combination of components is necessary if the outcome is skill
development
25. Training - Theoretical and Research
Underpinnings
Training Model
Sparks
Discussion and peer observation are important as training
activities
Loucks-Horsley et al. (1987); Sparks (1983)
Training sessions spaced one or more weeks apart in order to
allow for improved comprehension and so teachers have
opportunities for classroom practice and peer coaching are
shown to be more effective than “one-shot” sessions
Sparks (1983); Wu (1987) and Wood and Kleine (1987)
Point out the value of teachers as trainers of their peers
26. Training - Phases of activity
Involve participants in the planning
Allow for interaction in the training session among peers
After training, in-classroom assistance in the form of peer
observation and coaching is critical to the transfer of more
complex teaching skills
27. Inquiry
“the most effective avenue for professional development
is cooperative study by teachers themselves into a
problem and issues arising from their attempts to make
practice consistent with their educational values…[The
approach] aims to give greater control over what is to
count as valid educational knowledge to teachers.”
(Ingvarson, 1987, p. 15.17)
28. Inquiry
Teacher inquiry may be a solitary activity, be
done in small groups, or be conducted by school
faculty.
May be formal or informal
May occur in the classroom, at a teacher center,
or results from a university class
Research is an important activity in which
teachers should be engaged, although they rarely
participate in it other than as “subjects.”
29. Inquiry - Underlying Assumptions
Teachers are intelligent, inquiring individuals
with legitimate expertise and important
experience.
Teachers are inclined to search for data to answer
pressing questions and to reflect on the data to
formulate solutions.
Teachers will develop new understanding as they
formulate their questions and collect their own
data to answer them. (Loucks-Horsley et al.,
1987)
30. Inquiry - Theoretical and Research
Underpinnings
Inquiry-oriented teachers
Dewey (1933)
Need for teachers to take a “reflective action.”
Zeichner (1983)
Advocacy for “teachers as action researchers,” “teacher scholars.”
“teacher innovators,” “self-monitoring teachers,” and “teachers as
participant observers.”
31. Inquiry - Theoretical and Research
Underpinnings
Interactive research
Tikunoff (1983)
Interactive research and development promotes inquiry into the
questions they are asking through close work with researchers (who
help with methodology) and staff developers (who help with the
creation of ways of sharing their results with others).
Lieberman (1986)
Teachers server on collaborative teams pursuing answers to
schoolwide rather than classroom problems
Watts (1985)
Role of collaborative research, classroom action research, and teacher
support groups in encouraging teacher inquiry.
Sparks (1985)
Use of action research to help teachers better relate research on
teaching to their unique classrooms.
32. Inquiry - Theoretical and Research
Underpinnings
Action Research
Glickman (1986)
Advocates action research in the form of quality circles,
problem-solving groups, and school improvement projects as a
means to develop teacher thought.
Cross (1987)
Proposed classroom research as a means to evaluate their own
teaching
Glatthorn (1987)
Action research by teams of teachers as a peer-centered option
for promoting professional growth.
33. Inquiry - Phases of Activity
Identify a problem
Explore ways of collecting data that may range from existing
theoretical and research literature to gathering original
classroom or school data
Analyze and interpret these data
Changes are made and new data are gathered to determine the
effects of the intervention
