WEEK 6: BUDGET, TRANSFER OF LEARNING, AND ROI

February 9, 2020 3 Comments Psychology

You are a Senior Trainer at your company. Your boss, the Training Manager has tasked you with the following.

Design and facilitate a one-day (eight-hour long) classroom experience in which you need to help develop a group of engineers and software programmers to become project managers.

After training, they will have to manage some significant projects. Discuss the instructional characteristics and activities you will use to ensure that the engineers and software programmers acquire at least a fundamental understanding of project management.

Due to this situation it will be important that learning is transferred to the actual work that engineers will have to implement.  With that job application expectation there is also an expectation that the ROI will visible to management.   They want to know that the training is paying for itself…at least….with the transfer of learned skills to the job application.

How will you build a training budget to meet the requirements of designing a training session what might include gaming, simulations, and other training technology….it all costs?

How will you know if the engineers actually apply the learning?  What is the measure?

What are the components that make up a training budget?

What type of formula might you apply to determine the ROI?

Provide your initial response in an audio format or a video format. Use Kaltura or Canvas Media….Then, your remaining two responses may be text-based. Remember, your remaining responses must be on different days in order to earn full credit.

Narrative Essay

February 9, 2020 3 Comments Biology

  4 pages in length minimumNarrative Essay

Texts: 

Caitlin Yoshiko Kandil: After 50 Years of Asian American 

Paulo Freire: Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Banking Concept of Education.

Beverly Tatum: Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria? The Complexities 

of Identity.

Russell Jeung: Mountain Movers, Introduction.

Jennifer Ho: Keywords, Identity. 

Context:

Tatum explains that all people possess multiple identities which are shaped by and embedded in our social, cultural, and historic contexts. She also notes that our consciousness of these identities and their meanings develop through self-reflection over time. Through Freire, we learned that critical consciousness entails not only the emergence of consciousness but also a critical intervention in reality.

On a parallel track, we learned from Kandil and Jeung that the term Asian American can be traced back to a specific political, cultural, and social intersection in U.S. history. The Asian American identity, then, was created by people who found it necessary to assert an autonomous identity against oppressive forces.

You must apply at least five of the concepts from at least two readings, three of which should be quoted passages. 

There are countless ways you can answer this question, so you must frame or guide your response based on one or two of the following questions:
