The Future of Education

Newly hired individuals come with their own backgrounds, and ways of learning and accepting feedback. Then they  start forming new habits and experiences and/or developing different attitudes/views and emotions.  Thus, it is becoming more challenging to propose any professional development (PD) plan that has been previously tried out and shown its success. PD plans no longer fall under one recipe that fits all. Everyday new factors start evolving which makes management aware of the reason why the one recipe approach ends up as a less successful experience. This workshop will start by taking a look at the anticipated problems associated with delivering traditional PD plans. The next stage of the workshop will look at what is required of management to understand the individual staff member’s identity, mindset, social and emotional competences, and needs/reasons to develop. That is one step that both management and staff members must undergo prior to working out an effective PD plan. The session would put a framework to promoting a humanistic approach to staff development that ensures a balance between productivity, well being and PD. Humanising PD plans ensures helping staff members choose their own path. This workshop will give you practical ideas and will share takeaways that can shape a tentative road map to a personalised PD path with one aim in mind: providing support, promoting agency, respecting inclusiveness, promoting agency and ensuring empathy to achieve a more productive, healthy workplace.
