    建立一个专业图书馆

    作为培训师或教练的角色的重要组成部分是确保工作人员可以获得他们需要做好工作所需的资源。工作人员经常需要专业的开发资源。这些资源可以采取多种形式:书籍,杂志,视频,课程工具,教育材料,网站指南。

    本课程的应用部分为构建专业资源库提供了六个提示。以下是一些建议:

    • Request a subscription to the journals published by professional organizations.
    • Look for useful books. Throughout the Virtual Lab School, you will find suggested readings. These books may be helpful additions to your resource library. You can also browse publishers' tables at professional conferences for the latest titles.
    • 帮助工作人员找到适当的网站。再次,专业组织是一个良好的开始。许多人都有与重要资源的联系。
    • It can be very helpful to construct a lending library of child and youth literature, toys, games, and other materials. These types of materials can help staff turn an idea into reality. Staff can find the resources they need right away. This also helps avoid duplication of resources across a program.
    • Many curricula come with professional development resources. These may be videos, guides, or supplements. Keep any of these materials that staff are not using in a centralized location, so they can be found when needed.
    • 有许多方法可以在您的专业图书馆中包含尖端视频。虚拟实验yabo11vip室是此类视频的免费来源。

    看到程序的专业资源库的示例有助于。看看这些储备良好的专业图书馆的照片和员工的优质工作空间。您是否可以在您自己的程序中使用?

    Building Learning Communities

    As a trainer or coach in a center-based child and youth development program, you have the opportunity to encourage authentic, self-initiated professional development experiences for staff. One such experience is known as a professional learning community. Hord (1997) notes that, “three words explain the concept [of a professional learning community]: Professionals coming together in a group—a community—to learn.” In a childcare or educational setting, professional learning communities are groups of educators and administrators who meeting regularly to share expertise and work collaboratively with the goal of improving their teaching and best supporting children’s development and learning. There are five characteristics of an effective professional learning community, according to Shirley Hord (1997):

    1. 支持ive and shared leadership: This means that you and your manager must see yourselves as learners along with the staff. There is a sense that everyone in the program supports professional learning and is invested in program excellence.
    2. Collective creativity: This means you and staff continually work together to spark new ideas, reflect, converse, and inquire. You focus on solving problems by applying new ideas.
    3. Shared values and vision: This means you and staff have agreed on why professional development is an important part of your program. You have a shared focus on child learning and development.
    4. 支持条件:这意味着您和员工有时间和空间谈话。它也意味着您与鼓励沟通的工作人员有这种关系。
    5. 分享个人实践:这意味着工作人员预计通过观察和讨论其工作来帮助彼此。

    当这些要素到位时,儿童开发专业人员组可以互相互动以改善他们的专业实践。作为培训师或教练,您可以促进此过程,并确保结构仍然持续其成功。

    模型

    培训师或教练最强大的策略之一是建模。作为培训师或教练,您理想地拥有儿童发展的专业知识和经验。您是员工的资源。由于工作人员正在建立新技能或尝试新的策略,因此他们可能不得不立即使用这项技能感到舒适。他们可能无法完全理解它看起来或听起来像什么。他们可能需要一些指导来觉得努力尝试新技能。您可以提供此指导并为技能应外观和声音提供模型。以下是与员工建模的一些指导方针:

    • Guideline 1:

      确保跳入它可以。提前与工作人员交谈。询问他或她是否希望你试图用孩子或孩子试用一种技术。确保工作人员对展示该战略感到满意。如果他或她感觉不舒服,这并不意味着你无法建模。也许你可以通过与工作人员的角色扮演扮演的孩子来展示没有孩子的技能。

      你可能会说的:

      • “我们已经谈到了很多关于可能有助于克莱尔在学龄计划中与其他孩子交朋友的想法的想法。你介意我明天跳,向你展示其中一些人如何工作?”
      • “让我们采取行动如何鼓励克莱尔与索菲玩耍。首先,你可以是克莱尔,我会假装成为你。我会尝试一些想法,然后我们会改变。”
      • “我知道这些想法的一些声音复杂。你想我明天用几个孩子模仿他们吗?”
    • Guideline 2:

      确保工作人员有时间观察您的建模。尝试在课堂上分开资源可能很诱人:在工作人员继续使用当天的日常工作时尝试一种技术。这对您的工作人员和节约时间来说可能很有趣,但请记住它没有促进专业发展。确保工作人员在何时建模时知道,并且能够拍摄一些时刻观看。

      你可能会说的:

      “让我们确保明天下午有另一个可用的成年人,帮助监督建筑交叉区的孩子。那种方式你真的可以观看克莱尔和索菲在明天模拟战略时如何做出反应。然后,我将在这里帮助你第二天试试。“

    • Guideline 3:

      Consider "thinking aloud" as you demonstrate a strategy. Talk about why you are doing what you are doing and point out important features of the strategy as you do them.

      你可能会说的:

      "I'm repeating the sounds Dante (6 months) makes while we're playing on the floor. Notice how I'm following his gaze and responding to his sounds."

    • Guideline 4

      准备失败。有时即使是最好的计划也不会在我们期望的时候去。您模型可能无法完美的策略。与工作人员谈谈这一点。头脑风暴在一起,为什么你们每次认为战略都没有工作或不起作用。

      你可能会说的:

      “好吧,我们昨天尝试过那个新的选择委员会,他似乎并没有很好地回应。当你看着我跟他说话时,你觉得出错了?你下次有什么想法?”

    Also, remember that you, along with your program manager, can model the creation and maintenance of strong environments by incorporating some of the essential elements you want staff to enact in their classrooms into the other spaces staff use (e.g., your office, staff training rooms, staff break rooms, hallways). For example, consider:

    • How materials for staff are organized. Are they arranged in such a way that you and the staff can easily access them? Are they arranged in such a way that they evoke learning? Perhaps in the staff break room you offer a small display of a new resource or a board sharing an interesting project recently completed by one of the classrooms. These small touches can evoke staff’s engagement.
    • 员工空间的美学。有没有家庭的元素,如植物或柔软的家具,或办公室或休息室?您是否可以将自然,美容物品或计划的人格纳入其他空间员工使用?
    • How diversity is represented in your staff spaces. Just as we want materials for children and youth to be culturally relevant, make sure you model this in the spaces you create for staff development and recuperation.

    监测正在进行的专业发展

    在与儿童合作之前,工作人员应落实计划的哲学,目标,期望,程序,课程,政策和要求。然后,工作人员应该参加有组织的专业发展计划。国家幼儿教育协会建议人员培养年度个性化的专业发展计划。开发这些计划将在专业和计划管理课程中更详细地涵盖。作为培训师或教练,您可能会负责通过她或他的个人专业发展计划设计,提供和记录工作人员的进展。重要的是要么这个过程组织和主动。以下是有助于的策略:

    • 为每个员工创建投资组合或绑定器。
    • 制定完成的培训机会的清单。
    • 使用在线系统,如虚拟实验室。yabo11vip

    随着您的发展和更新员工的个人专业发展计划,别忘了包括与制备和维护高质量室内和室外环境相关的资源,培训和文件。
