Читать книгу Group Coaching and Mentoring - Linda Algozzini - Страница 5

In this book, we discuss the application of the Group Coaching and Mentoring (GCM) Framework hedged in the theories of metacognition, self-regulated learning, and communities of practice. While this may sound daunting, you will discover how well these theories complemented each other and drove the drastic mindset shift of the department. This unique approach was applied to online university faculty who participated in a professional development opportunity; however, its replicability is pertinent to a myriad of industries, just as change itself is present everywhere.

The first part of the book speaks to WHY change was needed. This section discusses analyzing the problem, considering the needs of the group, considering the potential and challenges, and having an awareness of the starting point of the group that is about to change.

The second part of the book illustrates the HOW process for implementing the framework. This section includes the theories used as a foundation, the roles and responsibilities of all involved, the four stages of implementing the framework, and applying such a framework in a virtual environment.

Part three of the book includes WHAT resulted after this change design was implemented. This includes results and data from the post-then-pre survey that the faculty completed, reflections on the process, and applications of this framework in other situations and settings.

For the purposes of this book, the term employees will be used to identify the faculty members while manager will be used to identify the Faculty Director.
