My name is John Antonellis. I would like to invite you to particiapte in a brief survey which is looking at the professional development needs for workplace educators.
Details follow below.
I will answer from my perspecitve as project manager and previous staff development coordinator for workplace basic skills contractual staff. We then assign them an informal mentor with whom to exchange ideas and probem solve for a term or two. 4. I believe that a good methodology is an interview utilizing a team of proficient practioners and focusing not only on direct or related instructional experience but also on knowledge of corporate environments and systems and skills appropriate to corporate cultures, particularly customer service, focus on ROI, and marketing. Some of our best instructors have had no formal preparation for instruction but have good natural instincts and excellent skills in a corporate environment. Then provide a program of classroom instruction in the concepts of workplace skills instructional design, implementation and evaluation.
