With the current staffing shortage, many organizations no longer have trained clinical educators on staff and must ask managers, nurses, or other professionals to expand their traditional job responsibilities to include the implementation of training programs.
But do the clinicians and nurses in your facility know how to teach effectively? Are they being adequately prepared for this important role? A lack of this critical training could mean disaster for your facility.
A Practical Guide to Staff Development: Tools and techniques for effective education is a comprehensive book and CD-ROM designed to help directors of education, staff development, and human resource personnel prepare clinicians-who are traditionally not educators-to be effective trainers.
You can share this easy-to-read, practical guide with the clinical staff you're preparing for training roles to teach them:
- Practical teaching strategies for adults
- How to identify learning styles
- Where to find data that will help them identify future training topics
- Suggestions for teaching to multigenerational and multicultural audiences
- Ways to evaluate the effectiveness of their education and training programs
- Recommendations for the implementation of distance learning
The CD-ROM includes tools that your new trainers can use to document and assess their training methods, as well as plan activities based on the different learning styles of their audiences.
In addition, A Practical Guide to Staff Development can be used by every discipline in your facility with samples of missions, goals, and visions that they can modify to suit their educational needs.
You need a resource that will help prepare the novice staff educators in your facility, as well as revitalize current educators with strategies for adopting new technology and teaching techniques. By sharing the innovative ideas in A Practical Guide to Staff Development, you will improve your entire facility's ability to deliver all types of critical education, enhancing your staff's ability to provide exceptional care.
