B 97422B 97422 Design Thinking for Training and Development
Grade Lvl: T Author: Boller, Sharon / Fletcher, Laura
Length: 266 Copyright: 2020

Offers a primer on design thinking, a human-centered process and problem-solving methodology that focuses on involving users of a solution in its design. For effective design thinking, talent development professionals need to go beyond the user experience, and incorporate the learner experience. In this how-to guide for applying design thinking tools and techniques, Sharon Boller and Laura Fletcher share how they adapted the traditional design thinking process for training and development projects. Their process involves steps to: Get perspective. Refine the problem. Ideate and prototype. Iterate (develop, test, pilot, and refine). Implement. Design thinking is about balancing the three forces on training and development programs: learner wants and needs, business needs, and constraints. Learn how to get buy-in from skeptical stakeholders. Discover why taking requests for training, gathering the perspective of stakeholders and learners, and crafting problem statements will uncover the true issue at hand. Two in-depth case studies show how the authors made design thinking work. Job aids and tools featured in this book include: a strategy blueprint to uncover what a stakeholder is trying to solve an empathy map to capture the learner's thoughts, actions, motivators, and challenges an experience map to better understand how the learner performs. With its hands-on, use-it-today approach, this book will get you started on your own journey to applying design thinking.

Despite the fact that unicorns are not real, you undoubtedly know what a unicorn is. Despite the fact that narwhals ARE real, you may not know what a narwhal is. In schools, we think that engagement at the highest level like it's a unicorn-something we've heard of, but know isn't real. We should be thinking of engagement in schools as a narwhal-something that we may not know much about, but is absolutely real and can be found right in your own school. In this book, Heather Lyon creates a common understanding of what engagement looks and sounds like so that anyone can design and gauge instruction using this understanding. More importantly, with this knowledge educators can make changes to instruction to truly increase student engagement.

Models-Based Science Teaching is concerned with building models of learning that help students of all ages understand four basic ideas: •Learning involves constructing mental models that are by nature simplified and subject to change. •These models are adopted because they work and not necessarily because they are the only true and most effective ways of understanding the world. •No one has a complete grasp of any model, and most of the time we are working with approximations of a situation. •What we create when we communicate are expressions of our inner mental models.

Length: 169 Copyright: 2015

What really motivates students to learn? What gets them interested--and keeps them interested--in pursuing knowledge and understanding? Recent neuroscientific findings have uncovered the source of our motivation to learn, or as neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp terms it, the drive to seek. Seeking is what gets us out of bed in the morning, the engine that powers our actions, and the need that manifests as curiosity. Informed by new findings on the nature of the brain's seeking system, internationally renowned educators Gayle Gregory and Martha Kaufeldt have identified key brain-friendly strategies for improving student motivation, knowledge acquisition, retention, and academic success. In this book, readers will learn: * The science behind the motivated brain and how it relates to student learning. * Strategies for preparing a motivational environment and lesson. * Strategies for creating engaging learning experiences that capitalize on the brain's natural ways of learning. * Strategies for improving depth of knowledge, complex thinking, and synthesis to get students into the ever-desired state of flow. * How attention to the neuroscience of motivation will improve the classroom environment and student learning.

Grade Lvl: T Author: Harwell, Joan M
Length: 261 Copyright: 1993

More than 200 reproducibles that meet the needs of students who have a wide range of functional levels. Activities can be adapted for use with regular students and are preceded by a general discussion of the learning objectives and prerequisites; rationale; and extension activities. The Ready-to-Use Learning Disabilities Activities Kit is designed to help regular and special teacher of elementary children in the areas of reading, language arts, and math. It gives the busy teacher over 200 reproducible activities for quickly and effectively meeting the needs of students who have a wide range of functional levels. The materials in the Kit are not intended to be a comprehensive program but rather a supplement to the materials and course of study recommended by your district. For example, obviously the math materials are limited to those that develop critical thinking by helping students visualize what words and numbers mean. The activities are presented by approximate grade level, kindergarten to 2.9, but you will find yourself moving back and forth form unit to unit as you seek to meet each student's needs: • Unit One, "Pre-Academics for Young Learning Disabled Students," provides activities appropriate for Head Start and kindergarten-aged children whose learning disabilities render them not yet ready for beginning academics. • Unit Two, "Beginning Academics," presents activities appropriate for children who are functioning at grades 1.0 to 1.9. • Unit Three, "Moving 'Write' Along," offers activities for children who are functioning in the 2.0 to 2.9 range. While these materials were created for use with learning disabled children, they may be used with youngsters in the general school population as well. You could, for example, use the activities as homework for regular class students, giving pre-academics to beginning first graders, first-grade materials as homework for second graders, and so on. The activities at each level are preceded by a general discussion of the learning objectives and prerequisites at that level and specific suggestions for using each of the activities that follow.
