Exploration of Training and Development
All training has advantages and disadvantages:
Induction Training: Northwood use this in July before students return
in September. The school pays employees to come in and receive their
training. This benefits the newly qualified teachers more as they have
just come out of university with debts from student loans and get paid
for training will help. The staff gets trained before they are allowed
to work at the school so they will be able to do their job. Also
induction training will help them get used to the school and meet the
other teachers. But it can be time consuming as it takes about 3 weeks
to complete. It is also costly, as the school have to pay for it.
Training days: this is cheaper for Northwood as the students don't
come in to school they don't need cover teachers. This training is
good as you can deal with weaknesses shown in the last term. But the
training days could be used for teaching.
Mentoring: this training makes sure the new teachers have some one to
turn to when they join the school for problems and support also gives
them a friend in the school and can resolve problems quicker. But this
can put pressure on the mentor as they have extra responsibility and
if they cant carry out the mentoring properly it can cause problems
for Northwood.
Specialised courses: these help to motivate the staff and give them a
sense of achievement when completing a course. The courses are
specific to their job for example a special needs course for dealing
children with special needs. They training help improve the school as
the staff have move knowledge about their job. But they can be very
expensive, as they have to pay for the teachers going on the course,
which could cost about £500 and cover teachers, which cost about £180
and Northwoods total cost for training in 2002 was £16,964.
On the job training: this is when the teacher is learning whilst doing
their job.
The use of the six principles of training by a 100m sprinter would greatly improve the athlete’s performance. This is because the progressive overload, specificity, reversibility, variety, training thresholds and warm up/cool down principles all greatly affect the performance of any athlete. The principles of training can be employed in order to improve all aspects of fitness, from flexibility to strength and aerobic endurance.

how are they going to get a full time job? Education should be a big focus on finding the solution
One challenge I see in the department that I work in is that there are two types of employees, the ones that have been there for many years and were promoted to higher positions without proper training because that was the next step up; and the newer employees who have not been trained properly to reach their full potential. Proper training and job rotation would improve the quality of work as well as the morale in the office.
As a school administrator it is important to be a motivator for the teachers that

I have grown in Physical Education in the way that I have learned to do a lot of things. For example I have learned all about keeping pace and that has helped me run a lot longer and that is usually how I beat people because people get tired to easy. This has helped me a lot in that I can do more things and that can impact me in a positive way, health is a very important thing and by doing the things I do in p.e. I can improve my health conditions and my mental health and that is very important for anyone to have this. Next year I want to do improve in many things and I also want to improve in how fast I can run the mile because I feel like I run slow and I want to improve on that.
I want my students to value their education and value their parents. There are so many children in this world that wish they had the opportunity to go to school. There are so many students that cry when the school tells them they cannot attend school anymore, because their parents cannot afford. There are so many children who wished they had free public transportation. I have gone through some of these situations. At one point in my school career I was told that I could graduate kindergarten if my parents did not pay a fee that was past due. I want to help a student be become a better student and person by teaching them the important of learning how other people live and how much valuable school is. This is one of my biggest goals and I know that with time, I can accomplish. I want to be a teacher because I want to teach students life lessons and have fun learning. I want my students to be active learners, by encouraging them to think outside of the box and be what they desire when they
Competency-based education is perceived by some as the answer, by others as the wrong answer, to the improvement of education and training for the complex contemporary world (Harris et al. 1995). Popular in the United States in the 1970s in the performance-based vocational teacher education movement, competency approaches are riding a new wave in the 1990s with the National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) system in England and Wales (begun in 1986), New Zealand's National Qualifications Framework, the competency standards endorsed by Australia's National Training Board (NTB), and the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) and the National Skills Standards initiative in the United States. Competency standards are propelled by a strong political impetus as the way to prepare the work force for the competitive global economy. At the same time, a growing chorus of critics argues that the approach is conceptually confused, empirically flawed, and inadequate for the needs of a learning society (Chappell 1996; Ecclestone 1997; Hyland 1994). Much of the debate is taking place in Britain and Australia, where there has been more time to examine the impact of the competency approach, and this publication therefore focuses on literature from those countries. However, the issues are relevant to vocational education anywhere. This publication looks at the claims of both sides in an attempt to locate the reality of competency-based education and training (CBET).
Training and development are important factors to the success of any organization. Each employee is a valuable asset that can either add to the success a company or contribute to its failure. Training supports and makes possible the development of new skills and knowledge. Offering training for employees at various levels within an organization assist employees develop the necessary skills and proficiency to be successful in their careers as well as prepare for new responsibilities.
